Tag: Fig milk

According to Ayurvedic tradition, drinking fig milk before bed can aid sleep and digestion, a practice dating back centuries. This versatile and nutritious beverage, known as 'anjeer doodh' in some cultures, combines the natural sweetness and fiber of figs with the protein and calcium of milk, offering a powerhouse of wellness benefits.

When a fig is picked or damaged, a white liquid often appears, leading many to ask, "Does a fig have milk?" This substance is not dairy milk, but a protective botanical latex secreted by the fig tree. The milky sap is an important defense mechanism for the plant, containing enzymes and other compounds to ward off pests.
