Fig Concentrate 5 gallon pail
This product is made from clean, wholesome dried figs grown in California. The figs come from the fig tree (Ficus carica), are naturally sun-dried in the orchard and mechanically harvested. The fruit is sorted and thoroughly cleaned, then the insoluble material is removed such that there is less than 3% by volume. It is a pure concentrated water extract of dried figs derived by leaching the dried figs with water and concentrating the resulting extract. This is a natural product that does not contain additives or preservatives. Fig juice concentrate is shelf stable and does not require refrigeration until opened. Refrigeration recommended for long term storage, but will do well in ambient conditions away from extreme temperatures and humidity.
