How to Count Your Anjeer

Weigh once: weigh 5 pieces, divide by 5, then multiply that weight by 2.5 for calories per fig.
Soaked anjeer absorbs water, so it gets heavier but not more caloric — count the dry pieces before soaking.
Anjeer rolls, barfi or honey-coated figs contain added sugar and have more calories than plain dried figs.

Fitting Anjeer into Your Day

A common snack portion is 2–3 dried figs. Anjeer is a source of fibre (9.8 g per 100 g), and per 100 g also gives 162 mg calcium and 680 mg potassium. If you follow a diet plan or have a medical condition, ask your doctor or dietitian about portions.
