At Khan Dry Fruits (June 2026), quality dried figs start around Rs 800/250g, with premium large figs from Rs 1,500/250g. High natural sugar means diabetics should keep portions small.

Health Benefits of Anjeer (Honest View)
1. Digestion & regularity
Anjeer’s standout feature is fibre — both soluble and insoluble — which supports regular bowel movements. It is a traditional gentle remedy for occasional constipation, especially soaked.
2. Bone-supporting minerals
Among dried fruits, figs are notably rich in calcium and magnesium, which contribute to bone health as part of a balanced diet.
3. Heart-friendly potassium
Potassium supports healthy blood pressure, and figs deliver a useful amount along with polyphenol antioxidants.
4. Natural, steady energy
Fibre slows the release of anjeer’s natural sugars, making it a smarter sweet snack than refined sweets — a couple of figs with nuts is a classic energy combo.
5. Antioxidants
Dried figs contain polyphenols that help protect cells from oxidative stress as part of a plant-rich diet.
