In dog days, eat some figs to cool off the summer heat. If you can't eat it, you can still dry it.

Figs are liked by many people, but some people don't like them, because figs have a special smell, and some people can't stand the special smell. I like figs myself. A fig tree has also been planted in the yard of my hometown, mainly because the fig tree does not produce worms, but it is easy to attract birds and heart worms.

The efficacy of figs

Figs taste soft and waxy, and ripe figs are particularly sweet. I especially like to eat them when I was a child. They taste a bit like ripe persimmons. Soft and glutinous. And figs are rich in nutrition, rich in amino acids and vitamins, as well as a variety of enzymes, as well as food fiber. Although figs are sweet, they are not high in calories and high in fiber, making them especially suitable for women who are losing weight.

But you should pay attention to moderation in everything, so don't eat too much.

Fig trees also have a special smell that repels insects. And figs are very high-yielding and can harvest a lot of fruit every year. Our family is often unable to eat, my mother always picked figs to make dried figs, not after being able to eat dried figs can also be used to make tea, said it is good for the throat, moisturizing the lungs.

Here I will share with you how to make dried figs at home. In fact, the method is very simple, first pick some fresh figs, do not overripe, this is easy to rot. Clean it up. If you are more patient, you can peel off the figs because the peel is not very good.

We don't have an oven in our hometown, so we put it directly in the sun. Put figs on a drying plate or mat and bask in the sun for a few days, often turning figs over to make them more uniform. Then put the dried figs in a plastic bag and seal them for two or three days, and the dried figs will taste especially good.
