Herbs renaissance is happening all over the world and they are staging a comeback and recently, the immense dependence on synthetic products is fall out and humans restore their relation to naturals to gain safety, healthy and security. The main objective of this study was to estimate the correlation between phenolic content and antioxidant activity of methanol extracts of fruits skins and flowers of local varieties of Ficus carica originated from two regions of Mascara (west-Algeria): “Ghriss” and “El Bordj”. Appreciable rates of polyphenols were noted for all the extracts of fig, the most pronounced total phenolic content were observed for the two type of Bakor with green skins fig, 197.47 ± 3.45 and 197.78 ± 2.20 mg GAE g^-1, respectively. These amounts can explain the biological activities of the plants' extracts. Positive correlation was proved by this study between different classes of phenolic compounds and the antioxidant capacity of F. carica methanolic extracts.
