Organic Black Mission Figs!

If you have a sweet tooth and you’re looking for a nutritious treat… you might try the “Made In Nature Organic Black Mission Figs” that are sold currently at Costco (they’re also sold on Amazon as well).  The organic figs are naturally sun-dried, full of natural fiber and dense with micro-nutritents… all this without any *artificial preservatives.
