Fresh Figs from California are not only a very nutritious food, but they are also delicious. Like any other fresh fruit, there really is no limit to the ways you can serve California fresh figs.

Fresh, right out of hand, they make the perfect fruit snack. Wash and remove the hard stem if you wish – it makes a good handle for eating, too – and peel, if you like. Ice cold from the refrigerator makes peeling a lot easier.

Wrap them in deli-sliced turkey breast, stuff with tasty cheese, bake like an apple, or stew. They will be perfect every time.

Chop and add to hot or cold cereal, thread on a skewer with other fruits or seafood and grill, or poach in fruit juice and serve with yogurt topping.
