It's Fig Season!

It's fig season, get 'em while you can!

Figs have a really short growing season, and they'll only be around for a few weeks. You can get them dried, or in a newton any time, but fresh figs can be a really tasty treat. When they're ripe, they are sweet and juicy with a really exotic texture, not gritty and sticky like the dried variety.

Figs are a great source of potassium, fiber and antioxidants. They are kind of delicate, so choose figs that are deep in color with firm stems and no bruises. They'll only last for about two days, so don't wait too long to enjoy them.
