Terrasoul Superfoods Organic Smyrna Turkish Figs, 2 Lbs - No Added Sugar | Unsulphured | Perfectly Dried

These organic Smryrna Turkish Figs are delicious and have the right amount of sweetness. They are not over processed and, are nice and firm with just the right amount of moisture and not squishy soft. They are a great source of fiber and really help maintain digestive health. I have a handful every morning. I am really glad that I found these. Thanks Terrasoul!

Any Terrasoul products I've purchased have been of very good quality. These figs do not disappoint. My only issue with them is I want to eat more than I should - gotta use restraint. Soft. Chewy. Flavorful. Yummy!! 😋

As others have said these are sweet and tasty but the one thing I will add is that mine seem to be tough on the bottom! I've never had that before. This is the second bag I've gotten but I'm not happy with with this bag!

These Terrasoul Turkish Smyrna figs, opened this morning, are as DRY and as HARD AS ROCKS! They were delivered to me by Amazon Prime on July 21. Because I had other figs still on hand, I put the unopened package of these Terrasoul figs into the refrigerator, expecting to keep them fresh until needed. Because I am a Christian, I cannot and will not lie -- I believe that I have never been more disappointed and disgusted by a previously trusted food brand than I was when I took these figs out of the package and found them to be so hard and dry. Because they are food and are not returnable, I have no other viable choice than to put them into glass jars filled with fresh water and soak them well, and hope these inedible figs will become softer, more plump, and chewable. In the past I bought the Sunny Fruit brand of Smyrna Figs... that brand of figs has been soft, plump and enjoyable. Recently, about July 16, I bought a package of another Terrasoul dried fruit, their Medjool Dates, which have been appropriately soft, chewable, and delicious, and still are. However, I must write the truth that Terrasoul's description on the package of these Smyrna Figs is NOT TRUE, because the label states "Soft, Chewy Texture". The reverse side states "We sell the foods we know and love." Obviously, these figs were not well enough known and loved to be inspected before packaging them for shipping. I trust that the Terrasoul company and its managers sincerely wish to sell products they know and love to actually do it for their customers. I have bought their organic Sunflower Chips and Medjool Dates and have been pleased with their quality. Also as a Christian, I must and do say that I forgive them for the very poor quality of these Turkish Smyrna Figs... however, I will not order figs from Terrasoul Superfoods again. In future I will order figs again from Sunny Fruit or from another seller. And I will trust and hope that Terrasoul will from now on inspect their products before packaging and shipping and redeem themselves from the error with these figs. If I could rate these figs lower than one star, I would. In a more just world, they would be returnable and refunded, but I understand of course that Amazon sells to people of all kinds and not everyone can be trusted to return foods in the condition they were received, and of course shipping takes time and some foods could spoil during shipping.

This review applies to all of this company’s dried fruit products available on amazon (I have tried most of them, if not all). I haven’t made a pointed price per pound comparison to bulk food items at Whole Foods or similar local brick and mortar sellers, but if memory serves, price is comparable and quality of products is equal to, or better... plus the added convenience of home delivery, minus the risk of exposure to the Rona from an in-person trip to the grocery store. You get a fairly large amount in each pack for the price and the resealable bags with flat bottoms make all their stuff convenient to store in cupboards (can lie flat on side, or stand vertical). The bags are easy to open and reseal, and they keep contents fresh. I’ve bought just about every dried fruit they have to offer. I eat them instead of candy, cakes, or ice cream as a healthy way to satisfy the occasional sweet tooth urge minus the guilt. Dried fruit has a higher concentration of natural sugars than fresh fruit, but it’s high in fiber and other good stuff. It “chews” like candy and is as sweet or sweeter and more filling so you get more satisfaction from eating less. Cut up with kitchen scissors and add to oatmeal and/or sliced apples and oranges mixed in a bowl, add some cinnamon, or unsweetened powdered cocoa, or unsweetened coconut shreds, or nutmeg, or plain unsweetened whole yogurt (or all of the above) and dust with your favorite healthy sugar substitute. There are tons of different ways to combine the above for lots of variety, and you will have a desert that’s healthy but manages to seem more decadent than anything on offer at the fanciest of restaurants. I love all of this company’s dried fruit products (to date, knock on wood). I haven’t researched this company or its processing quality, etc. so you’ll have to do that for yourself if you have concerns about that, but so far I haven’t had a bad batch, and I plan on ordering even more in the future.
