  • Figs (Black Mission)

    Black Mission Figs are a black - purple Fig containing extremely small seeds. This fruit is a good source of iron, calcium and phosphorus. Figs have a firm flesh and soft inside. Black Mission Figs are sweeter and smaller than Calimyrna Figs. The best time for Figs is November-January. This is when the new crop has been harvested, and the figs keep their shiny bluish-black color. The rest of the year, the Figs are considered old crop. These old crop Figs will crystallize with sugar, making them to appear white, almost moldy on the outside. However, the Figs themselves are not contaminated in any way. During the off-months, expect Fits to crystallize within 2-4 weeks after purchase. Contains sulfites. Black Mission Figs are Sun-dried.
