Fig Frangipane tart ~ delicious summer fruit bake
Adiós summer...
Adiós figs *insert tears :(here*
One of the oldest trees, figs are native to the Middle East and Mediterranean.
Superfood figs are known to be high in natural sugars, minerals, and soluble fibers.
Figs help keep our digestive system healthy as they contain pre-biotics
keeping good gut bacteria happy :D)
helps lower blood pressure (increase potassium), helps with weight loss
(high fiber will keep us feel full hence fewer hunger pangs and cravings)
and a good source of calcium that helps keep our bones healthy... :D
Figs are rich in minerals including potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, and copper, and are a good source of antioxidant vitamins A, E, and K

Let's do away with apples... It's "A fig a day keeps the doctor away!!!" *big grin :D*
Unfortunately for me... figs came with a high price tag over in Perth.
I could plant a fig tree in whatever little space I have left in my backyard, but then fruit flies will enjoy the labor of my hard work before I could :(...
Looks like I have to fork out a few extra dollars to enjoy these superfood superfruits :D in summer
Hubby brought home some figs from work, we ate some and saved some for my bake (been wanting to try bake something frangipane ;p)
