About Fresh figs

Fresh figs are soft, pear-shaped fruits with thin skin and a sweet interior containing many small edible seeds. Skin colour varies by variety, commonly green, purple, or brown, while the flesh may be pale or pink to red. They are eaten fresh or used in both sweet and savory preparations.

Ripe figs are delicate, yielding easily to pressure, with a juicy, jammy texture and honeyed flavour; less ripe fruit can be firmer and milder. They are sold whole and may be eaten with their skin. Fresh figs differ from dried figs in moisture and concentration, making the two forms unsuitable for direct nutritional comparison.
