Handling Fresh Figs

It is important to handle Fresh Figs carefully. They are fragile and bruise easily.

Select plump, fragrant figs that have a little give when touched.

Figs can be ripened on the counter at room temperature.

Use ripe figs as soon as possible or store in refrigerator for up to 3 days.

To prevent bruising, arrange figs in a single layer on paper towels or liners.
