Kymi dried figs are a recognized product by the European Union with Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) since 1994 and Protected Geographical Indication (PGI). They have great nutritional value, rich in calcium (100g of dried figs contain 162mg of calcium), tannins, carotenoids, copper, selenium, zinc, dietary fiber for smooth intestinal function, prebiotics, antioxidants, phenols, low in fat, potassium for regulating blood pressure, muscle cramps, and headaches (100g of dried figs contain 640mg of potassium), magnesium for the proper functioning of our nervous system, and iron to help individuals with anemia (100g of dried figs contain 2.03mg of iron). They are also rich in folic acid, which is beneficial for women during menstruation, pregnancy, and lactation.

In the Bible, it is mentioned that the Garden of Eden had a fig tree where Adam and Eve covered their bodies with fig leaves. In ancient Greece, figs were the third most important fruit after olives and grapes and were associated with the worship of the goddess Demeter, who was said to have offered them to mortals as a gift, as well as the god Dionysus. In ancient Greece, figs were offered for consumption to athletes before the Olympic Games and were given as prizes to the winners. The inability to preserve this fruit for a longer period led to the method of drying, which had a longer shelf life. Thus, it became a significant source of income for the ancient Athenian state. Cleopatra, whose favorite fruit was the fig, died from a snake bite hidden in a basket of figs that were offered to her.

In modern times, there are many large cooperatives that continue to follow this traditional drying method, as the entire process is done manually.

Kymi dried figs are not only used in pastry, such as spoon sweets, cereal bars, cookies, and jams but also in cooking, with various cheeses, salads, sweet and sour sauces, as well as in meat dishes such as beef, lamb, pork, chicken, and game. They are also excellent as a snack and pair well with herbal teas that enhance their flavor.

In Kymi, the land of figs, during August, all the houses, rooftops, balconies, and courtyards are filled with wooden trays of figs drying in the sun, preparing them for winter. Every house has at least one large fig tree that produces hundreds of figs. My father also makes dried figs every year using the traditional process we use at home. Read step by step with care and passion. It is a tradition, and we know the method well.

Let's also see how St. Stephen of Agron (Stefanos tis Agros) in Mentuli of Kymi makes them.

The base for a cake is the sponge cake. Many people don't pay enough attention to the sponge cake as they focus more on the decoration and the final result of the cake. This is a big mistake because, just like in cooking, where we seek pure ingredients and look for the best ones to achieve the finest dish, in pastry, only when we give importance and care to every element, we will have the most delicious outcome.

For cocoa sponge cake, the ingredients needed are:

250g eggs (approximately 5 eggs)

130g sugar

1 vanilla pod

45g soft flour

35g cocoa powder

40g corn flour

5g baking powder

Later, the Spaniards introduced chocolate to Europe, adding different ingredients and flavors to create confections that delighted royal circles.)

Over time, the pleasure of saraglakia spread to other regions of the world, adapting and evolving to local tastes and traditions. Thus, saraglakia became one of the most beloved sweets in many countries, proving that the love for good taste and quality endures throughout the centuries.
