fresh figs
Soft purple produce
Fresh figs are figs eaten ripe and unprocessed, distinguished from the dried form more commonly available.
The fresh fruit is delicate, with soft flesh and edible skin, and spoils quickly—making it a seasonal treat in most markets: Fresh figs are only available for a few weeks in late summer.
They appear in salads, paired with cheese, or eaten plain.
