How do Jacob's get the figs into fig rolls?

Look at a roll. They produce a strip of pastry and then squeeze a ribbon of fig paste onto it. The edges of the pastry are then folded over and sealed down. The long length of fig filled pastry is then cut into short lengths by a guillotine.

Reply:The saga of these figs SHOULD be a national embarrasement to the UK, where by far the largest number of these "snacks" are consumed. Young figs are harvested in the wild, and then grafted to artificial fig vines where they are exposed to a controlled environment designed to make them grow at a far greater rate than is "natural". While fig farmers admit to using all kinds of techniques to plump their figs, they continue to deny the figs suffer in any way as a result of the forced rapid growth.



The figs are then "mechanically plucked" (read "pulled off by shear brute force") from the vine, and squashed into the pastry tube that will become their ultimate resting place.



For shame, for shame...
Reply:they wrap the pastry round the figs while they are still on the trees.
