Tag Archives: Vitamin B6

If you are planning to have a special, healthy menu that satisfies those with discerning tastes, I suggest that you make this dish part of your Sunday NFL celebration.  You definitely will be a hit, and win or lose, everyone will be happy and smiling.  Figs, especially the fresh ones, are a good source of potassium.  They help lower the blood pressure (which is especially important if your team is losing).  They are a rich source of manganese and Vitamin B6.  Also 8 oz of figs have only 37 calories.

Step 1: Place figs on the grill on high heat for 15 minutes or until figs have a nice char on the outside and begin to break apart
