The fig tree grows in many Mediterranean countries, but the best figs are harvested in Turkey, around Izmir. Turkish figs are distinguished by their method of preparation. Each designation (Lérida, Protoben, and Baglama) does not refer to a variety of fig, but to their presentation during packaging. They are rich in fiber and a source of magnesium, iron, and calcium. Due to their glucose content, figs provide you with energy and stimulate digestion.
