Fresh Figs

-1.1

Fresh figs provide moderate anti-inflammatory benefits through polyphenols and fiber, though natural sugar content reduces their overall anti-inflammatory potency compared to berries.

Ingredient score breakdown

Polyphenols

-0.7

Rich in phenolic compounds and flavonoids that reduce oxidative stress and inhibit inflammatory enzyme activity.

Fiber

-0.4

High soluble and insoluble fiber content supports gut health and production of anti-inflammatory metabolites.

Potassium

-0.2

Helps regulate blood pressure and reduces inflammatory stress on cardiovascular system.

Natural sugars

+0.2

Moderate to high fructose content can promote mild inflammatory responses when consumed in large quantities.

Why this score

This score is ingredient-based and weighted by DII-inspired evidence. Foods with added sugar, refined starches, and heavy processing trend higher; foods with fiber, omega-3, and polyphenols trend lower.

FODMAP note

Fresh figs are high FODMAP due to fructose, with safe serving limited to one medium fig.
