Add this to your grocery list: food of the gods.
Figs are in season right now and we should all make like the gods and eat some. They’re super rich in antioxidants and one of the best sources of beta-carotene on the earth. People who eat figs regularly have much less heart disease than those who don’t. They’re even considered an aphrodisiac.
Dried figs are okay, but treat yourself to the real deal. Fresh figs are savory sweet and juicy with a luxurious texture and supple skin. Choose those that are soft but not squishy, stems slightly bent. Ripe figs are fragile and won’t last long so be sure to enjoy them in a day or two. Have them straight up, for breakfast or dessert, toss some in a salad or pair them cheese or roasted meats.
