About Fig Paste

Fig paste is produced by milling dried Sarılop figs into a smooth or seeded purée, giving manufacturers a concentrated, spreadable fruit base with the deep caramel-honey flavour of Turkish figs. It delivers fruit content, natural sweetness and binding in a single easy-to-dose form.

The classic application is fig-roll and fig-bar fillings, where paste provides both flavour and the moist, cohesive texture consumers expect. Bakeries also use it in breads and pastries; snack makers bind it into fruit-and-nut bars; the dairy sector swirls it into yoghurt and ice cream; and developers use it as a natural sweetener and humectant to reduce refined sugar. Paste is offered smooth (screened) or with seeds retained for a rustic texture.

Turkish fig paste ships in bulk food-service pails, boxes and bag-in-box, conventional or organic, produced under audited food-safety systems with aflatoxin control appropriate to fig products. In its base form it is made from whole dried figs with no added sugar, supporting clean-label and reduced-sugar formulations.

Fig Paste — FAQ

What is fig paste made from?
It is made by milling dried Sarılop figs into a purée. In its base form it contains only figs, with no added sugar — the sweetness comes from the fruit itself. Smooth (screened) and seeded versions are offered.
What is the difference between smooth and seeded fig paste?
Smooth paste is screened to reduce seed presence for an even filling texture, while seeded paste keeps the natural fig seeds for a more rustic mouthfeel and visible fruit character. The choice depends on your finished product.
What packaging does fig paste ship in?
Common bulk formats are food-service pails, lined boxes and bag-in-box. Suppliers on FromTurk confirm net weights and shelf life with your quote.
Can fig paste replace added sugar in my recipe?
It can reduce the need for refined sugar because figs are naturally sweet and high in fibre, and paste also acts as a humectant. The exact substitution depends on your formulation — trial a sample to tune sweetness and moisture.
