figs, especially dried ones are not necessarily low in sugars and carbohydrates; however, if one is looking for extra sources of calcium in their diet, turn to figs for an impressive amount in one serving. last night, i took a package of figs purchased from a lebanese market- 1.99$ [5.99$ at chain supermarket], and blended them with about two cups of water. i came up with a really delicious spread, and/or nice ingredient [with lots of essential nutrients: http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/...-juices/1889/2 ]. i thought that i would share this recipe because the amount of egg/oil/sugar could be reduced with the addition of figs pureed/creamed with water. almonds grinded up finely, also reduce oil used in a recipe. this is how to make your own inexpensive almond butter too, ha.
ETA: you could also add balsamic vinegar to some of the fig puree, and have fig balsamic . buy a bottle of cheap balsamic vinegar, place on stove, and reduce until thick- it is a 'balsamic glaze' then. add blueberry, fig, pear, et c. i used the glaze along with shallot and garlic with long beans.
