AAH Fig LG

Ficus carica is a member of the mulberry family (Moraceae). It is native to Asia but is grown worldwide. In addition to being a very good source of vitamin K and fiber, figs have been used for digestive, cardiovascular, respiratory, and other conditions.

The American Botanical Council (ABC) is passionate about helping people live healthier lives through the responsible use of herbs and medicinal plants. As an independent, nonprofit education organization, ABC is dedicated to providing accurate and reliable information for consumers, healthcare practitioners, researchers, educators, industry and the media.
