The initials FOB stand for either free on board or freight on board. Either way, it has the same definition. When using the term in business, buyers and sellers attach FOB to the beginning of a location to show the point at which freight changes hands from seller to buyer.
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.
You would have to eat many dozens of fresh figs to get the same nutrition that you take into your body with just a single daily portion (1/2 cup) of dried figs. And thatâs good news for your general health, your internal systems, and of course, your diet. Unlike other fig varieties, Mission Figs are dark-skinned. When ripe, they have a purplish-black outer color and rosy flesh inside. Drying transforms them to a lovely jet-black color that goes deep into the interior of the fruit.
