Valley Fig Growers Review

Today's, review Is on products I received last night, and come from the company "Orchard Choice". Valley FigGrowers History is that they are the finest dried fig growing company from California. Located in the rich San Joaquin Valley, their fig-grower-owned cooperative is one of the biggest fig-growers in North America, with 30 member growers contributing nearly 40% of the California fig industry. You will find them in your local shop or online under the following brands: Blue Ribbon Orchard Choice, Sun-Maid, Orchard Choice and Blue Ribbon. You can rely on the figs of California. The figs are also GMO-free, vegan-friendly and healthy. If you love their figs for their nutritious quality, their wonderful flavor, or their esteemed aphrodisiac qualities, they know that you'll be back for more.

Orchard Choice Valley Fig Growers, sent two types of their figs. The mission fig and the golden fig. Both are known as natures candy, with high nutritional value. Fig's come from the company in many forms, you can get them dried in bulk, diced or sliced, as a fig concentrate, as a paste and even figamajigs.

So it's important to tell you a little history of figs, before I get to tasting them.

If you eat California Figs, you'll be encouraging yourself to experience healthier health. If you're savoring delicious figs as a snack or in your favorite meals, figs are also a decent source of dietary fiber, high in important minerals such as potassium, iron and calcium, and abundant in beneficial antioxidants and complex carbohydrates. Figs are also a whole food source with essential nutrients and have no fat, cholesterol or sodium and help you follow today's dietary recommendations. Valley Fig Farmers supply the globe with tasty, healthy California Figs.

Now the first to try for me will be the premium California mission FIG! A mission fig is a high-quality fig type. Often known as Black Mission Figs. The fig has, a dark purple surface that looks black, with a faint pinkish tint on the inside. It was not even necessary to peel the fig, all I needed to do was trim off the hard stem. Now you can eat the figs as they come in the container, or you are able to reconstitute them, just by soaking in some warm water until soft. Totally up to you. The taste of the fig was both sweet  and earthy. However the sweetness was balanced by the natural acidic and fruity flavor. The texture of the fig I would describe as unique. The mission figs we're very plump. These we're a great for a snack for me between lunch and dinner.

I don't think there is any recipe that you could not incorporate a fig into. From oatmeal to meat dish's, they can be used. The figs are a great portable snack that is convenient to take any where, anytime.

As far as the golden fig that the company sent over, it is just as perfect as the mission fig. I used these figs in a chicken recipe. I made roasted chicken with a golden fig glaze, The sweetness is perfect, every bite is instant sweet, with a touch of a nutty flavor.  This comes from the natural flavor of the golden fig. The skin of the fig is slightly golden, and has a pinkish flesh. A little fact about the golden fig is that they are among the most highly prized in the dried fruit category. This fig reminded me a lot of a date, but the size is some what bigger. They looked as they we're kissed by the sun. The golden figs are also great to add to many a dish. They go very well with goat cheese, blue cheese, even in a balsamic vinegar.

A fun fact about figs are, they are thought of as a fruit, but actually are a flower inverted into itself.
