Nutritional values

Thanks to their high alkaline value, figs neutralize acidity, which is great for the stomach. The protein-splitting enzyme ficain aids digestion and the small seeds in the figs help maintain the intestinal flora. Figs also add the mineral potassium, lowering blood pressure, which has a positive effect on the nerves and ensures a healthy electrolyte balance.

If you would like the fig salad to be a little more hearty, cut a red onion into fine rings and mix it into the salad. Onions improve the flow of blood, keep the body's organs healthy, and have an antibacterial effect.
