About Newtons

Newtons, often referred to as fig bars or fig cookies, are a classic snack with roots tracing back to the late 19th century. These soft, pastry-like treats are typically filled with a sweet and slightly tangy fig paste, though modern variations may include other fruit fillings like strawberry or apple. Originating from the United States, Newtons are inspired by traditional fig recipes dating back to ancient Mediterranean cuisines. Rich in dietary fiber from the fig filling, Newtons can support healthy digestion. They also contain small amounts of vitamins and minerals like calcium, potassium, and iron. However, they are moderately high in sugar and may also contain refined flours, making portion control key for a balanced diet. While not the healthiest snack option, Newtons can be a satisfying and nostalgic treat when enjoyed in moderation as part of a varied diet.
