Fig rolls are soft biscuits with a sweet fig paste centre encased in a soft pastry shell. They are one of the more nutritious biscuit options, providing useful dietary fibre from the figs (including soluble and insoluble fibre), modest amounts of potassium and calcium, and less saturated fat than cream-filled or chocolate biscuits. A typical biscuit (~20g) provides around 68 kcal.
Fig rolls are a reasonable occasional biscuit choice due to their fibre content. Pair with a glass of milk or a fortified plant milk for calcium, or enjoy with green tea as a lower-calorie treat.

* % Daily Value is the proportion of an adult
EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) supplied by 100g of this food.
NRVs are the labelling standard — the same basis as the “%RI” figures printed on
food packaging — so these percentages are directly comparable with a shop label.
They are a single adult figure and do not vary by age or sex, which is why they
sometimes differ from UK dietary reference values: the NRV for vitamin C is 80mg
where the UK RNI is 40mg. When Nutriofia assesses your own intake in the
reports and trackers, it uses the age- and sex-specific UK values instead.
Fibre is shown without a percentage. Our fibre values use the UK
Englyst NSP method, while the published 30g daily goal is an AOAC figure — the two
are measured differently and a single percentage would mislead.
