Sunny Fruit’s organic Smtrna dried figs stood out as the best overall in the market for its top-class quality and affordability. They have a bulk-size package of 40 oz, which you can share with your friends and family.
After we tasted the product, we almost had nothing to complain. It has balanced moisture, all necessary certifications, no added ingredients, and a delightful honey-like taste. Those figs can never go wrong, no matter if you are cooking, soaking, or eating raw.
However, they have a low shelf time and are recommended to keep in the refrigerator in high humidity. Make sure to seal the packet once opened.

If you like extra sweet figs, Anna and Sarah’s dried figs can be a great option. They use fully ripped organic dried figs, which contributes to extra sweetness. If you plan to make desserts with figs, Anna and Sarah’s dried figs will bring healthy sweetness to your cake, cookies, or smoothies.
They have a standard package of 32 oz at an affordable price. The taste and smell resemble honey and caramel. They have over 70% of 5-star ratings, which is very impressive compared to other brands.
However, we could not find any information about their certification. It can be said to be a downside of the product. But depending on our excellent experience and high popularity, we decided to keep it on our top list.
Personal rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Food to Live is a relatively small company, but it excels with its exceptional dried fig quality. They collect A-grade fully ripened organic figs from Turkey and package them without altering the product.
Its soft texture makes it excellent for eating without soaking or cooking. If you are looking for a healthy snack to satisfy your daily sugar craving, Food to Live’s 40 oz organic fig can be your sweet supply for a whole month.
The product is fully organic and contains all the necessary certifications. However, our packet had inconsistent sizes of figs. But that’s a tiny flaw, considering its great value.

Black Mission figs are rare but taste almost the same as golden ones. Nutra Fig’s 80 oz bulk black mission figs can be a great option if you want to buy a lot of dried figs. It has a juicy, delicious taste with a hint of caramel. (I am sure kids are going to love it)
Buying bulk products is often intimidating, but they have a cleaver packaging you can vacuum seal after opening. The product is Kosher and vegan certified.
Personal rating: 4.3 out of 5.

It has all the necessary certifications like USDA, Kosher, and Vegan. So, you can rely on it without a doubt. However, as the product is relatively new, not many people reviewed it.
With its unique extra crunchiness and great taste, we listed it with the “Best for Extra Crunch” title.
Personal rating: 4.6 out of 5.
Perfect Delights Organic Turkish Figs (Best organic)
Type: Organic, Sun-dried.
Origine: Turkey.
Size: 32 oz
Taste: Sweet with a hint of vanilla.
Certification: USDA, Gluten-free, Kosher

Added Ingredients: No.
Downsides: A few reports of mold.
Perfect Delights has a high-quality sun-dried organic fig. They grow their figs, maintaining organic procedures free from any chemical ingredients. The packaging is standard and contains 32 oz dried figs with consistent size and taste.
I like its mouthful texture and softness; it does not stick with teeth much. I loved its slightly vanilla flavor and the consistent quality of each fig. The product is USDA organic and Kosher certified. The figs are free from sulfur, sugar, or preservatives.
It has slightly more moisture than usual, contributing to its great texture. The problem is moisture increases the risk of mold growth. However, after scrolling through hundreds of reviews, we found only one or two mold cases.
All the figs listed here are organic and free from additives. But Perfect Delight deserves the best organic title for its extra attention to organic food processing.
Personal rating: 4.4 out of 5.
Made in Nature Organic Dried Fruit (Best flavor)
Type: Organic, Sun-dried.
Origine: Turkey.
Size: 16 oz
Taste: Hint of honey, butterscotch, and jam.
Certification: USDA, Gluten-free, Kosher
Key features: Environment friendly.
Added Ingredients: No.
Downsides: A few reports of mold.
Made in Nature dried figs have the most unique flavor profile. The figs contain a rich smell of honey and a slight aftertaste like butterscotch. The flavor also reminds me of jam, and the seeds somewhat have a nut-like flavor.
Those figs are slightly expensive, but their quality and uniqueness make them one of the best-dried figs you can buy. The figs have essential certificates like USDA Organic, non-GMO, and gluten-free.
They also have an influencing environment-conscious branding style which really impressed me. They also have many other great dried fruits you may want to take a look.
Personal rating: 4.6 out of 5.
Buying Guide for Best Organic Dried Figs
The best-dried figs typically have a deeper color, a dried grape-like aroma, and a moist, sticky texture. Too dry ones may not be correctly processed and stored. Meanwhile, light-colored dried figs suggest the figs were not ripe enough and may not be that sweet.
Extra dry dried figs have a better shelf life, but their taste and texture are not the best. However, if you want to eat them after soaking, it will not matter.
Always ensure the product is USDA organic certified and has no added ingredients. Other certifications are also reasonable indications of a good product.
See the brand, price & reviews before buying.
Our Verdict
There is no optimum rule for buying dried figs. Every organic fig contains fiber, vitamins, and various wellness benefits. You can choose any brand you like if it’s good quality, organic, and without additives.
The taste and likeliness can, of course, vary from person to person. So always feel free to use different products and choose the best one for you.
