Our Dried Fig Cubes are produced from high-quality figs, cut into even cubes and gently dried to maintain natural sweetness, soft texture, and nutritional value. They are widely used in cereals, confectionery, bakery, trail mixes, and health foods. Each batch undergoes cleaning, screening, and moisture stabilization to ensure purity, uniformity, and export-grade quality, making them ideal for global food manufacturers.
We offer sweet, soft-textured, and clean fig cubes with consistent size and premium quality.
Used in cereals, bakery, confectionery, snacks, desserts, and health-centered foods.

High-quality industrial Dried Fig Cubes are typically produced from the Ficus carica (Smyrna/Sarilop) variety, known for its thin skin and high sugar content. In B2B trade, the cubes are graded based on their color (natural light brown to amber), moisture content, and purity. DITCO ensures that all diced figs are processed from sun-dried fruits that have undergone rigorous sorting to remove sun-burnt or damaged figs, resulting in a uniform, premium ingredient for industrial food formulations.
Mycotoxin control is the most critical technical factor for fig exports to the EU and USA. DITCO implements a strict UV-light (Blacklight) scanning protocol where figs are manually and mechanically inspected to identify and remove any fluorescent fruits contaminated with Aflatoxin (B1 and Total). We ensure full compliance with EU Regulation 1881/2006, providing a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for every batch to guarantee that levels are well within the legal safety limits for international distribution.
For industrial applications, the moisture content of Dried Fig Cubes is maintained between 20% and 24%. This specific range ensures the fruit remains soft and chewy without being prone to fermentation. We also monitor Water Activity ($a_w$), keeping it below 0.65 to inhibit the growth of yeast and mold. For “Ready-to-Eat” (RTE) products, we can provide pasteurized cubes with slightly higher moisture levels upon client request.
Dried figs are naturally high in fructose and glucose, making them very sticky. To ensure a free-flowing product suitable for automated industrial feeders and mixing lines, our cubes are typically coated with rice flour or non-GMO corn starch (1–3%). This anti-caking agent prevents the cubes from fusing together in the box. For “Clean Label” requirements, we can offer cubes coated with high-oleic sunflower oil or provide “naked” cubes for specific industrial processes.
DITCO provides standardized precision cuts to ensure consistency in your final product. Our most common industrial sizes include:
3–5mm: Ideal for yogurt toppings, fine confectionery, and fruit fillings.
5–8mm: The industry standard for muesli, granola, and breakfast cereals.
10x10mm: Preferred for industrial baking (fruit bread) and premium trail mixes. Each batch is mechanically sifted to remove “fines” and ensure high piece-size uniformity.
Dried Fig Cubes are sensitive to temperature and humidity. To maintain a shelf life of 12–18 months, the product should be stored in a cool environment, ideally below 10°C (50°F). Proper temperature control prevents “sugaring” (the migration of natural sugars to the surface) and inhibits fermentation. We pack our bulk cubes in 10 kg or 12.5 kg corrugated carton boxes with food-grade polyethylene (PE) liners to protect against moisture absorption and pest infestation.
