Density 18 · -22 vs Baked goods median

Fig bars score 18 of 100, a Low band result that ranks 55th of 60 in Baked Goods, well below the category median. The fig filling still contributes some fiber and iron, each reaching 16% DV per serving, figures that plain butter cookies rarely match.

They are eaten as a portable snack or packed lunch treat, prized for staying soft rather than crumbly. A 100 g serving contains 46.4 g of sugar, high enough that the fig filling's natural sweetness adds up fast, so one bar rather than a handful keeps things in check.
