FAQ
Target moisture is precisely balanced between 12% and 14%, retaining natural pulp flexibility while driving water activity below thresholds that support fungal proliferation or fermentation. This safeguards the fruit against hardening into an overly dry texture during storage.
The minimum wholesale order quantity is 50 master cartons of 10 kg (500 kg net). Buyers can consolidate this SKU alongside Kermanshah figs or dried plums into a single trade consignment covered by a consolidated commercial invoice and bill of lading.
This SKU is predominantly composed of closed-mouth figs of uniform medium-to-large caliber (Grade AA). Fully split or widely open figs (Grade 101) are channeled away via optical sorting systems to maintain carton visual uniformity and prevent airborne dust ingress into inner cavities.
Accredited food safety laboratories evaluate levels of lead, cadmium, arsenic, and organophosphate residues against established MRL thresholds. Empirical values remain significantly below permissible ceilings, with certified numerical readings incorporated into the shipping dossier.
In coastal or tropical warehouses, storage temperatures must not exceed 12°C, and relative humidity must be sustained under 50%. Pallets must be spaced off perimeter walls with forced air ventilation to forestall moisture migration and surface sugar crystallization.
No; Parlan dried figs undergo strictly mechanical and physical processing. Insect elimination is achieved through cryogenic thermal freezing, accompanied by forced-air dedusting and screening, completely free of chemical sprays, mineral paraffin, or sulfur compounds.
Master cartons are fabricated from dense 5-ply Kraft corrugated board with food-grade inner poly bags, rated to withstand up to 8 stacking tiers per pallet. A standard 20ft ocean container accommodates 1,000 to 1,100 cartons of 10 kg (10 to 11 metric tons net) securely shrink-wrapped and strapped.
