Anjeer is a nutritious fruit rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber, promoting digestive health and acting as a natural laxative. It supports bone health and helps regulate blood sugar levels, making it ideal for those with diabetes. Its antioxidant properties boost immunity and enhance skin health. Incorporating anjeer into your diet offers various health benefits.
To enjoy these benefits, you can eat fresh figs or dried anjeer, or incorporate them into various dishes and snacks. Just be mindful of portion sizes, especially with dried figs, as they can be calorie-dense.
To make Anjeer Laddus, soak and chop dried figs and dates. Cook them with ghee until soft, then mix in roasted nuts and desiccated coconut. Flavor with cardamom and optionally sweeten with honey or jaggery. Shape the mixture into balls once slightly cooled, and store in an airtight container.
