Description
The variety of Turkish sun-dried figs is Ficus Carica and called as “Sarılop”. The origin of this fruit is Aydın which is a certain area in Aegean Region in Turkey. Sun dried figs are firstly fumigated under vacuum, then after sizing they are selected under UV lights to remove the fruits contaminated by aflatoxin. Dried figs are mechanically washed with salty water, X-Ray scanned, dried in oven, if required, to reach optimum moisture content, and inspected on tables to remove any foreign material and defects like mouldy, spoilt or damaged. Selected high quality figs are packed into cartons in Lerida form and packed into different packaging depending on the customer’s requests. Finally, they are metal detected before release. Figs contain no other additives. This process takes place under the highest standards of hygiene and good manufacturing practices.
