Figs (1 Medium (2 1/4 Inches Dia))

Choose fresh figs instead of dried figs, since dried portions are much more concentrated in sugar.

Limit the serving to 1–2 medium fresh figs and avoid eating them on an empty stomach.

Pair figs with plain unsweetened Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a small handful of walnuts to slow absorption.

Add chia seeds or ground flaxseed to yogurt alongside the figs for extra fiber.

Eat figs after a balanced meal containing non-starchy vegetables and protein rather than as a standalone snack.

Avoid combining figs with honey, syrup, sweetened yogurt, juice, or other sweet foods in the same sitting.
