              Natural (bulk and/or pre-packed)

              Natural figs are indeed fumigated but not manipulated at all, are                supplied in selected quality. Selected Natural Figs are calibrated and                hand-selected; contain only a trifling percentage of slightly damaged                fruits. They are supplied in 12 kg boxes and in linen or cellophane or                polythene bags of 500 gr or 1 kg. The price depends on the number of                fruits per kg, which goes from 34-36 to over 100, but of course also on                the category (EXTRA, FANCY, CHOICE).

              Lerida (bulk and/or pre-packed)

              Lerida figs are flattened and lined up in their packing which is bulk                boxes or cartons of 10 kg but also trays, carton boxes and cello packs                of various weights.

              Protoben (bulk and/or pre-packed)

              Protoben figs are the long shape given to the fruits during                manipulation. Protoben figs supplied in 12,5 to 14 kg boxes or cartons,                but are packed in trays, carton boxes or cello packs of various                weights as well.

              Pulled (bulk and/or pre-packed)

              Pulled fig are strongly stretched and given a semi-spherical shape.                this kind requires specially selected figs and the pulled type is                therefore one of the best qualities. Pulled are packed in bulk boxes                or cartons of 12,5 to 14 kg as well as in small carton boxes or cello                packs of 250, 400 and 500 gr.
               

              Baglama (bulk and/or pre-packed)

              Baglama figs are similar to the Protoben type but bound together with                a raffia string, each fruit being tied by the stalk. The arrangement in the                boxes or cartons of 12,5 to 14 kg is the same as for the “Protoben”.               “Baglama” can be packed in small trays or packs of 500 gr as well.

              Garland (pre-packed)

Garland figs have got the same shape as the “Lerida” type, but have been strung on a raffia string. The only packages are generally round shape cello packs of 250, 400 or 500 gr.

Layer (pre-packed)

Layer figs are torn from the stalk on and are stretched in order to give them a large and flat round shape. They are then placed layer by layer and pressed into a parallelepiped block. Those blocks are finally wrapped into cellophane and placed into boxes or cartons.Diced Figs (3-5 mm, 6-8 mm, 8-10 mm, 10-12 mm)

The cultivated fig (Ficus carica) probably originated in southwestern Asia and became a very popular fruit throughout Turkey, Persia, Arabia, and the Mediterranean region when civilizations and empires were just being born. Egyptians depicted figs in pictographs and hieroglyphics, and the writings of the Greeks and Jews made many references to the plant. Figs are edible either fresh or dry, and, like dates, the dried fig became an important staple in the diets of people on the move or living in dry areas, where fresh fruits were unattainable. Figs are high in calories, but the milky latex in the plant is a laxative.
