Facts and FIG-ures
• Loaded with potassium, iron and
calcium, figs have the highest mineral
content of any common fruit.
• Ounce for ounce, figs actually offer
more fiber than cooked oats —and
more calcium than 2% milk.
• Figs are virtually fat-free and contain
no cholesterol.
• Although considered a fruit, the fig is
actually a flower that is inverted into
itself. The seeds are drupes, or the
real fruit.

up with the right nutritional fuel!
The schedule of being a loving wife,
mother of three and professional
triathlete can be grueling, but Heather
Gollnick thrives on the challenge. What
helps her stay revved up, with stamina
to spare? Knowing how to make the
right lifestyle choices: Plenty of rest, a
positive outlook, and most importantly
-- smart eating!
Heather knows that choosing foods with
a nutritional punch—lots of vitamins,
minerals, and fiber—is one fruitful
strategy. She’s found one of the most
all-round sensible choices is…well,
fruit—whether at meals, for dessert, or
for a quick pick-me-up snack.
Knowing that Fig Newtons not only
pack in 100% more real fruit than a
Strawberry Nutrigrain® Bar*, but are
low in saturated fat, gives Heather the

pick-me-up just when she needs it

or chasing the competition that stands
between her and a 1st place finish at
the Ironman World Championships!
