This gorgeous fruit can be eaten raw or cooked, and make a perfect addition to any recipe. You can stuff them with gorgonzola and then wrap them in prosciutto for a flavourful appetizer. Or you can make some fig jam and spread it on your morning toast! The options, it would seem, are endless.
Catania figs are available year round; harvested in Mexico from September to June and in California from June to October, including varieties such as Brown Turkeys, Black Mission, Sierra, and Tiger Figs – a new fig featuring striped skin and bright red flesh, with a sweeter, honey-like taste that is a huge hit with fig fans.
We grow figs in our California and Mexico ranches.
Our figs are available all year round.
Full of fibre and rich in minerals, figs offer health-conscious foodies a guilt-free snacking option.
Fresh figs are usually enjoyed raw.
1. Clean fresh figs before eating them. Rinse the figs under cool water and gently wipe them dry with a clean paper towel.
2. Simply take a bite and enjoy them.
• The skin of the fig is edible. You do not need to peel the skin before eating it.
• If you do not like the texture of the skin, you can peel it off before eating the fig. After twisting off the stem, carefully use your fingers to peel away the skin starting from the exposed top.
• You can also cut the fig in half. Gently hold the fig with one hand and use a sharp knife to cut it in half lengthwise.
You can use figs in different recipes. You can never go wrong with its natural sweetness.
