The California Fig Powerball was created as a snack to take on the go, a quick bite that will provide a burst of energy that also delivers sound nutrition. It provides multiple health benefits via the variety of fig ingredients—in addition to the nutrition inherent in the almonds, whole-grain oats, and pumpkin and sesame seeds. In addition to the interest built by the ingredients in the mix, this concept also intrigues via its sweet-savory flavor profile, with the fig-almond paste sweetened with the honey-agave syrup, and a savory note from the sesame seeds coating the exterior.
California figs provide an excellent source of dietary fiber, with just three to five dried or fresh figs—or the industrial ingredient equivalent—accounting for one serving, with 5 grams of dietary fiber. Figs are also rich in antioxidants, and are a good source of magnesium, calcium and potassium.
