About Figs
Figs are the soft, sweet fruits of the fig tree, eaten fresh or dried. Fresh figs have thin, often purplish or green skin and a tender, moist interior with many tiny edible seeds; their flavour is mild to honeyed, with variation by cultivar and ripeness.
They may be sold whole and fresh, dried, or preserved. Dried figs are chewier and more concentrated in sweetness than fresh fruit, while varieties differ in skin colour, size, and flesh colour. They are eaten as fruit and used in both sweet and savoury preparations.
