I find fig newtons kind of pasty. Their whole wheat ones are a little better, but yeah agree.

If you like fig newtons, you’ll love Natures Bakery whole wheat fig bars.
I find fig newtons kind of pasty. Nature's Bakery? Is that something you granola-crunching, Birkenstock-wearing Alaskans eat??  Yes, we do.

Even better than natures bakery, were store brand from Safeway - Safeway select whole wheat fig bars. Albertsons bought Safeway and got rid of anything worthwhile buying there.

IB, are these the ones you're talking about? https://www.safeway.com/shop/product-details.960162854.htmlI just went on Safeway's website, they also have Nature's Bakery listed.

Those do t look to be whole wheat. I’m guessing “original” means paffy white dough.
Wrappers usually highlight if they are whole wheat.
Also, natures bakery calls their blueberry bars “fig bars”. WTF? They’re tasty enough, but not fig.
Let’s be careful out there! 😉

Yes, must be careful. You could put your eye out with those things.

Let’s be careful out there! 😉 You can look at the ingredients. The Safeway brand has more high fructose corn syrup than figs, and bleached whole wheat flour. The Natures Bakery fig bars have no high fructose corn syrup, more figs than blueberries, and the "blueberries" are actually blueberry jam. Unbleached whole wheat flower. Natures Bakery takes the cake!
