Description
The Pingo de Mel fig can be consumed either fresh or dried, depending on the period in which it is harvested and the changes caused by the stages of ripening.
When purchasing fresh fruit, you need to be careful, as the riper it is – the greener it is – the more vulnerable it is to the presence of fungi, which can cause intestinal discomfort.
Against cholesterol
The richness of nutrients, such as fiber, fatty acids and antioxidants, in the leaves of Figo Pingo Mel is great for helping to reduce high levels of bad cholesterol.
For the heart
This benefit of Figo Pingo de Mel is due to its high potassium and low sodium content, a combination that helps regulate blood pressure and, consequently, reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.
For the skin
Honey Drop Fig slows down aging due to the presence of vitamins B and C, which have antioxidant power that fights free radicals that damage the skin.
Its anti-inflammatory action also prevents the appearance of acne, which explains why the fruit is used in some facial exfoliants.
Against diabetes
The chlorogenic acid present in Figo Pingo de Mel can help control glycemic levels and its absorption in the digestive tract if associated with an adequate diet.
