Four dried figs only have 84 calories, with almost all of the calories coming from energy-providing carbohydrates. The same serving supplies 3 grams of dietary fiber, or 13 percent of womenâs recommended daily intake and 9 percent of menâs. The fiber in dried figs is about equally divided between the two types of fiber -- soluble and insoluble -- which is important because theyâre each responsible for different health benefits.
Tips. 1  Figs sometimes drop from the tree after fully ripening. Spread a tarp beneath the tree as the figs approach maturity to make collection of fallen fruit easier. 2  Store harvested figs for up to three days in the refrigerator. You can also trim off the stem and sun dry the fruits for four to five days. Dried figs store well for about six months.
