Fig Paste

Dairy food is a common source of allergies, which is very sad as it is also very tasty. In particular, having to give up cheese can be very disappointing for allergy sufferers. Although fig paste can’t take the place of a fine cheese, it can be used to make an enjoyable substitute. There are lots of different recipes for this on the internet, but really it’s all about imagination. Using ground nuts such as cashews can add texture to the mixture, while yeast adds flavour and is highly nutritious in its own right. Even for people who can eat dairy, this can be worth trying to vary a balanced diet as many recipes have a very high nutritional value.
