Short answer: Cover dried figs with warm water for 20–30 minutes (or overnight in the fridge for very dry figs), drain, then chop or blend. Soft anjeer is easier to cook with and gentler to chew.

FAQ
Can I eat anjeer without soaking?
Yes if soft enough to chew comfortably. Soak when figs are dry or for recipes that need mashing.
Is anjeer high in sugar?
Dried figs are naturally sweet and energy-dense — keep portions modest (often 1–2 figs).
Anjeer vs dates — which to cook with?
Dates mash into stickier pastes for binding; anjeer gives seedy texture and fig flavour. Many recipes use both.
