Fig Paste
Use fig paste for healthy and delicious snacks, especially for parties or when you want to impress dinner guests.
High quality fig paste has a deep and rich taste, which is very satisfying on its own and works superbly with a number of other foods. It is traditionally served with cheese, but can work equally well with oatcakes or similar foods such as tortilla chips. You can make a healthy, modern twist on this by serving fig paste as one of a selection of dips with crudités. This can be a wonderful and nutritious way of keeping children occupied, leaving adults to chat in peace. Speaking of children, parents can use it either to disguise unpalatable medicines for childhood illnesses or as a treat for swallowing them without a fuss.
