Figs have a thin, leathery skin. Fresh, ripe figs have a very sweet and aromatic flavour. The combination of the soft, fleshy flesh, sweetness, aroma and seeds makes this exotic fruit ideal both for fresh consumption and processing in various dishes.
Fresh figs can be eaten with their skin. Figs are also excellent in both sweet and savoury dishes. For instance, they are often used in salads, desserts, jams and on cheese boards.
Figs should be stored in the fridge and will keep for several days. Fresher figs are tastier.
Sweet figs pair well with spicy counterparts. They taste delicious with raw, plant-based ham and a drizzle of balsamic glaze or try them with some plant-based goat’s cheese or gorgonzola.
Figs are a rich source of vitamins A and B, contributing to healthy skin and metabolism. Additionally, they’re packed with dietary fibre, promoting satiety and digestion.
