If you are the kind of person who eats things like spirulina, brewer’s yeast or liver, because you like it and not because you have to for some reason, then this is the fruit for you!
APPEARANCE 
Greenish brown skin, squatty, pale pink inside
AROMA
Smells like a vegetable
TEXTURE
Soft, some crunch from the seeds, threads, not appealing
TASTE
Not very sweet, bland, blah
OVERALL
This is the first fig I have ever tasted raw and I am not impressed – if I didn’t have six more kinds of figs sitting in front of me, I would never try another one based on this. So dull.

You have a green fig there, Dear. Green as in unripe, not in color. A ripe fig can change your life. That’s why I eat them–but I’m still waiting. Figs are one of the most fragile and quick-to-spoil of fruits, hence the steep price. In the Mid-West & East, there are actual cults of fig growers who go to great lengths to winter-over their trees, frequently burying the tree in the ground & insulating with leaves. It is said that if you could grow only one fruit tree in your yard, it should be a fig. They are transient & transcendent, but only when ripe.

You could be right about that Susan. Some of the other figs were much much better. In fact I am in love with the Panache. Review to come…
