Anjeer- good for sugar cravings?

Dried Anjeer... Should I soak it in water before consuming it? Will it increase the spike of sugar in the bloodstream?

Hi Sukanya! Yes you should always soak your dry fruits & nuts overnight before taking them. Also yes dried anjeer is good for relieving sugar cravings. To maintain a low to moderate hike on the sugar levels first of all keep the portion small (maximum 2 soaked ones daily), also soaking will dilute a lot of the sugar, & if you're still worried have these with a couple of soaked almonds or walnuts to balance out the sugar with protein.

Also, ensure to drink the water in which you soak the dry figs. But discard the water in which you soak the almonds or walnuts
