About Fig newton
Fig Newtons, a classic snack, consist of a soft, chewy pastry filled with a sweet fig paste. Originally inspired by ancient fig-filled pastries, these treats were first commercialized in the late 19th century by the Kennedy Biscuit Works, later merging into Nabisco. They are considered part of American cuisine but have roots in Mediterranean flavors due to the fig filling. Made with figs, wheat flour, sugar, and a small amount of fat, Fig Newtons provide some dietary fiber and natural fruit sweetness from the figs, which also contain beneficial antioxidants. However, they are relatively high in added sugars and calories, making moderation key. They offer a convenient option for a quick snack but shouldn’t replace fresh fruits or whole-grain products in a balanced diet. Perfect for an on-the-go energy boost, Fig Newtons provide a nostalgic indulgence while offering a subtle nod to nutritious ingredients.
