Freeze Dried Fig

Figs are a fruit that has won the hearts of many with its sweet taste and soft texture.
It‘s estimated that over 700 varieties of figs are cultivated worldwide, each offering unique tastes, colors, and textures. Among the most popular are Mission figs—characterized by a purplish-black exterior and valued for their quality and unmatched sweetness—and Calimyrna figs, that are celebrated for their delicate, nut-like flavor and their sweet, dense flesh and typically enjoyed dried. While both fresh and dried fig taste heavenly, due to its perishable nature, dried figs are always in the spotlight.
At Chiloox, we offer three types of dried figs: sun-dried, dehydrated, and freeze-dried figs. Our freeze-dried figs are sourced from Iran, which ranks among the top fig producers like Turkey, Egypt, Algeria, etc. Persian figs are renowned for their rich flavor, vibrant color, and natural sweetness. In Iran, most figs for commercial use are grown in Fars and Lorestan, although other provinces like Kermanshah, Semnan, etc. also produce large quantities of fresh, tasty figs each year.

How We Freeze Dry Our Fig Slices

The freeze-drying process begins with picking ripened figs from the late spring to early fall based on their variety. Once harvested, the figs are moved to our facility for processing. First, they undergo washing and slicing to prepare them for the freeze-drying process. This process begins with freezing fig slices to sub-zero temperatures, followed by placing them in a vacuum chamber. In this phase, the ice molecules transform directly into vapor, and both the air and vapor are removed from the chamber (for more information, you can read “What is freeze drying?“). During this process, the original texture and nutrients of fresh figs are preserved. The result is lightweight, crispy, and natural freeze-dried figs with the original color, aroma, and taste of fresh ones.
We serve businesses, including importers, wholesalers, and distributors, by offering our premium freeze-dried figs in bulk quantities. So if you serve health-conscious markets, our natural freeze-dried figs are the perfect addition to your product line.
