But, the quickest and easiest way to enjoy these gems is by removing the stem and taking a bite right out of the raw fig.

Can you freeze figs?

Pack figs into containers, leaving headspace. Figs can also be frozen first on a tray and then packed into containers as soon as they are frozen. Seal containers and freeze.

Do you eat the skin on figs?

The entire fig is edible, from the thin skin to the red or purplish flesh and the myriad tiny seeds, but they can be peeled if you wish. Always cut off the stem. Wash the figs and gently pat dry to serve whole.
