'''Fig roll''' is a sweet roll filled with fig paste that is part of the [[cookie]] and [[pastry]] family. Originating from ancient Egypt, the fig roll has become a popular snack in many parts of the world, including the United Kingdom, the United States, and Australia.

== History ==

The '''fig roll''' is believed to have originated in ancient [[Egypt]], where figs were a common food staple. The first recorded mention of the fig roll dates back to the 19th century, when it was introduced in England by the [[Biscuit]] company [[Bakers]]. The fig roll was a popular snack during the Victorian era, and it remains a favorite in many parts of the world today.

== Production ==

The production of a fig roll involves the use of [[fig]] paste, which is made from dried figs that have been rehydrated and ground into a paste. This paste is then spread onto a sheet of pastry dough, which is rolled up to encase the fig paste. The roll is then baked until golden brown.

== Variations ==

There are several variations of the fig roll, including the [[Fig Newton]], which is a popular version in the United States. The Fig Newton was named after the city of Newton, Massachusetts, and is produced by the [[Nabisco]] company. In the United Kingdom, the fig roll is often referred to as a "fig biscuit" and is produced by several companies, including [[McVitie's]] and [[Jacobs]].

== Nutritional Value ==

Fig rolls are a good source of [[fiber]] and contain a small amount of [[protein]]. They are also low in fat, making them a healthier alternative to many other types of cookies and pastries. However, like all sweet snacks, they should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
