Yes, dear, dried figs are very nourishing and completely safe. I was so careful during my IVF journey, and my doctor highly recommended them for natural iron and fiber.

Oh, that's good to know! I have some dried figs at home but wasn't sure if they produce 'heat' in the body. Do we have to soak them first?

Absolutely! Dried figs or anjeer are loaded with fiber which helps with constipation. I ate two soaked figs every morning and it kept my digestion very smooth.
