The smoking procedure involves lighting sulfur and allowing it to smoke the figs for about 24 hours. Next, the smoked figs are left to dry under the sun for 7-10 days before being placed in boiled water to wash. Finally, they are allowed to dry before packaging.<\/p>\n<p>No historical sources regarding the figs have so far been traced.

The prickly pear\u2019s seed contains linoleic acid, which is, in essence, a fatty acid bringing numerous benefits for people\u2019s health. The great nutritional and medicinal value of the prickly pear is attributed to it being rich in magnesium and amino acid taurine, substances which are crucial for the health of the brain and the heart, while it is also rich in flavonoid antioxidant substances which act against cancer and heart diseases.
