The Aegean coast of Turkey around the ancient city of Smyrna, now Izmir, has been producing figs for export for over two thousand years. The fig variety that emerged from this region, the Smyrna white fig, became the global benchmark for dried fig quality: large, golden-skinned, with a distinctive honey-amber sweetness, a soft flesh packed with tiny edible seeds, and a richness that the common dark purple-black figs sold in most grocery stores do not approach. Crop by Pop Organic Sun-Dried Turkish White Figs bring that tradition into a USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO, Vegan format with no sugar added and no sulfur dioxide treatment. Known as anjeer in South Asian culinary tradition and higos in Spanish-speaking communities, these are the same figs, in the same white Smyrna variety, sun-dried and packed fresh in the USA in a resealable 1 lb or 2 lb bag. Ingredients: Organic Figs. Processed in a facility that also processes peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat. Available in 1 lb and 2 lb.

What You're Buying
Crop by Pop is the USDA Certified Organic line within the Nut Cravings family, alongside other staples in the same line such as Organic Sun-Dried Apricots, No Sugar Added and Organic Raw Cashews, Unsalted. These organic Turkish white figs are sourced from certified organic Smyrna fig growing operations, sun-dried without sulfur treatment, and shipped fresh from the Nut Cravings USA facility in a resealable bag. Most dried figs sold in mainstream retail are dark Mission figs, a variety with a deep purple-black skin, a more assertive, slightly tannic flavor, and a drier, denser texture when dried. Mission figs are the convenient commercial standard because they are widely grown in California and produce a firm, shelf-stable dried fruit that ships and stores without significant texture degradation. Turkish Smyrna white figs are a different fruit in almost every quality dimension that matters for eating. The skin is golden to pale amber rather than dark purple. The flesh is softer, more yielding, and carries a more complex sweetness with a distinct honey character that Mission figs do not develop during drying. The seed-to-flesh ratio in Smyrna figs produces a pleasant textural contrast rather than the gritty seed density that can dominate lower-quality dried figs. They are larger per piece and more tender, which makes them more suited to eating whole, stuffing, and cooking applications where the fig's texture is as important as its flavor.
Nutrition Per One Ounce (28g)
Per one ounce (about 16 servings per 1 lb bag): 70 calories, 0g total fat, 18g total carbohydrate, 3g dietary fiber, 13g total sugars, 0g added sugars, 1g protein, 20mg calcium (2% DV), 0.7mg iron (4% DV), 280mg potassium (6% DV). Sun-dried Turkish white figs are naturally fat-free, and all 13g of sugar per serving comes from the fruit itself, since no sugar is added during processing. The 3g of dietary fiber per ounce supports digestive regularity, which lines up with the traditional South Asian practice of soaking anjeer overnight and eating the soaked fig the next morning as a gentle digestive aid. Iron at 4% DV and potassium at 6% DV per ounce are modest but real contributions from a whole-food source with zero added sodium or fat. Calcium sits at 2% DV per ounce, a smaller but still worthwhile addition for anyone tracking calcium intake from whole-food sources across the day. At two ounces (roughly four to six figs), these figures roughly double.
How to Use Organic Turkish White Figs
The Anjeer Soak: The Traditional Morning Preparation
Two to three figs soaked in a glass of water or warm milk for eight hours or overnight. Consume the soaked figs and the liquid the following morning before breakfast. The soaking softens the fig to a texture approaching fresh fruit, releases fiber into the soaking liquid, and produces a natural sweetness in the liquid that makes it pleasant to drink alongside the fig. This is the traditional South Asian anjeer preparation.
Direct Snacking
Two to four figs eaten as an afternoon snack alongside a small handful of walnuts, almonds, or cashews. The fat and protein from the nuts balances the natural sugar in the figs and extends the feeling of fullness beyond what the fig alone provides.
Cooking Applications
Chopped and added to tagines and braised dishes alongside lamb, chicken, or duck, where the fig's sweetness balances the savory and acidic elements of the sauce. Incorporated into fig and walnut bread or fig-and-anise scones. Blended into fig jam or chutney alongside ginger, lemon, and spices for a condiment that works with cheese, roasted meats, and grain bowls. Used in Indian mithai preparations including fig halwa, fig barfi, and fruit-and-nut ladoo, where anjeer provides both sweetness and binding texture.
Cheese and Charcuterie Boards
Whole or halved Turkish white figs alongside aged manchego, Gorgonzola, brie, or blue cheese on a board. The honey-sweetness of Smyrna white figs pairs well with the sharpness of aged and blue cheeses. Serve at room temperature, where the flesh softens slightly and the honey character comes through more than when the figs are cold from the refrigerator.
Choosing the Right Size
At two to three figs per day (about one ounce), the 1 lb bag provides roughly 16 daily servings, about two to three weeks of consistent daily use for one person. For buyers using figs primarily as a direct snacking food or for the daily anjeer soak, the 1 lb size is appropriate. The 2 lb size suits buyers who cook with figs regularly, who use them across multiple preparations at once (snacking, cooking, gatherings), or who want to reduce restocking frequency and benefit from the lower per-ounce cost at the larger size.
Storage
Sun-dried figs without SO2 treatment have a shorter practical shelf life than sulfured versions, since the SO2 preservative that inhibits microbial growth and maintains texture in conventional dried figs is absent.
- Room temperature, sealed resealable bag, away from direct heat and sunlight: two to three months of peak quality.
- Refrigerated in the sealed bag: four to six months.
- Frozen: up to twelve months.
Dried figs may stick together in storage, particularly in warmer conditions. This is normal and does not indicate spoilage; separate gently before eating or using in recipes. If surface white crystallization appears on the fig skin, this is natural sugar crystallization from the fig's own fructose content migrating to the surface during storage. It does not affect flavor or food safety.
