Anjeer or Anjir, also known as figs, are a healthy dried fruit that are high in fiber, calcium, and iron, and low in calories and fat free. They are also rich in vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids, and minerals. When checking the quality of anjeer, you can touch them with your hand to see if they feel soft and plump, and smell them to see if they smell sweet and fruity. You should also avoid any that look overly dry or discolored. Fresh figs contain some calories from natural sugar, but having a few figs is a reasonable, low calorie snack or addition to a meal. Figs also contain small amounts of a wide variety of nutrients, but they’re particularly rich in copper and vitamin B6. Figs have a variety of potential health benefits. They may improve digestion and decrease constipation, help manage blood fat and blood sugar levels, and kill cancer cells. However, more research in humans is needed.
