Figs are something I haven’t tried yet, unless you count Fig Newton’s, which I’ll admit I never really enjoyed and am actually not even sure are still made. 😅
Thanks for your comment. Like you, I do not like Fig Newton’s. I do enjoy the figs I buy. I’m pretty particular. I buy Smyrna Figs – Organic dried figs. I purchase them through Amazon. Have a great day. Ray
