Its... NATIONAL FIG WEEK!

Yes. I do LOVE all fruits and vegetables... but I am prejudiced to one fruit in particular. FIGS.
Heres what the professionals have to say about this delicious- mouthwatering- treat.


Figs are a great source of potassium, a mineral that works to control blood pressure and has been shown to increase bone and muscle strength. The calcium in figs actually works with the potassium to keep bones healthy and strong

Remember your grandmother said to eat your carrots? Well carrots move over! Figs are rich in vitamin A, the same antioxidant found in carrots which promotes vision development and keeps eyes strong as we grow older. But it doesn’t stop there; vitamin A also has anti-aging power and skin rejuvenation qualities.

Enjoy a free recipe of fig-filled muffins, I know I will be making them... YUM
