Why fig you might be asking? WELL – Calcium, iron, and potassium are just a few of the concentrated nutrients found in fig rolls. Additionally, they are high in fibre, free of fat, salt, and cholesterol. They are readily available, high in calories, and can be used as a rapid energy snack or as a regular element of the diet to offer sustained general nutrition. Therefore, with the added protein, these bars are a must have!
