Review of Organic Fresh California Black Figs - Trader Joe's by kyu
It’s finally fig season! The green varieties are my favorites, but I still couldn’t resist picking up a box because I love them all (I think these may be Brown Turkeys, though I’m no expert.) They are somewhat firm and mildly sweet, but not as jammy as I’d like. While they were a bit underwhelming in the flavor department, they make a beautiful addition to charcuterie boards and can be refreshing when eaten with something that’s already sweet.

unejanie They are pretty low maintenance if you have a mild climate. My grandma moved to New York from southern Italy and always had a fig tree to remind her of home. Not so easy with harsh New York Winters.Reply
