Habikino Akatsuki Fig 1kg - Tree-Ripened Figs from Osaka

Important fact: Figs do NOT ripen after picking.

Unlike bananas, figs never get sweeter after they are harvested. The sweetness you get at harvest is the final sweetness.

Why Supermarket Figs Are Not Sweet

Most figs are picked early, while still hard, so they don't get damaged during transport. But because figs don't ripen after picking, they never become truly sweet.

Our Akatsuki figs from Habikino, Osaka are different. We leave them on the tree until they are fully, fully ripe. We pick them by hand at 2am and ship the same day. That's why they are so honey-sweet and soft. You can't get this taste in supermarkets.

Features

• Tree-Ripened: Left on the tree until the last moment for maximum sugar. Rich, honey-like taste.
• Picked at 2am, Shipped Same Day: Fully ripe figs are very delicate. We pick at the coolest time and ship immediately.

How to Eat

• Best: Eat on the day it arrives. Chill well, cut into 4, eat with the skin.
• Storage: Does NOT keep long because it's fully ripe. Please eat within 2 days. Freeze the rest for a natural fig sorbet.
