Fresh figs are highly perishable and must be ripe to be of good quality.  A ripe fig is soft and varies in color from greenish yellow to purplish or almost black depending on the variety.  When over ripe, the fig has a sour odor which comes from the fermentation of the juice.  If bruised the fig will break down rapidly and should be avoided.

Fresh Figs are best used right away but can be refrigerated for up to three days.
