Image Fig roll.jpg thumb right A typical modern mass produced fig roll. The fig roll is an ancient Egypt ian pastry , filled with ficus fig paste. The modern fig roll and its mass popularity can be traced to the development of industrial production by United States American Charles Roser in 1892, now marketed by Nabisco as the Fig Newton . History ficus Figs are a popular and handy natural snack food in most of the world. Originating in northern Asia Minor , traded by the sailors and explorers of developing countries, they became popular in the lower and hence hotter parts of the Mediterranean . As baking developed, the ability to increase the duration and storage of foods stuffs allowed longer distances to be travelled. It was thus probably the early Egyptians who invented the fig roll, it simply being preserved figs in a flour based pastry covering, which is hand rolled. Figs were highly traded and fought over during the development of the great trade routes during the 15th to 17th centuries. Christopher Columbus devoted a complete page to what a wonderful time it would be when he would be able to gorge himself on figs in the orient, while Marco Polo described women in association with the beauty of Figs. It was also during this period that Figs reached North America , when the Spanish reached the island of Hispanola in 1520. ref name EnAFD citebook title The Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink author John F.
