Figs have two seasons. One in early June, although I rarely see figs at the stores here during that season. The second season is August through October.

I’m sure I embarrassed my husband as I practically ran to the small display of them at the store. Then proceeded to spend no less than 10 minutes picking out the best ones to use for this Fig and Almond Butter Toast and the Grilled Fig, Goat Cheese and Pistachio Salad I’ll be sharing on Wednesday.

If your only experience with figs is in a Fig Newton then you’ll be shocked at how different (and how much better) a fresh fig tastes.

To be honest, dried figs aren’t my favorite. I don’t hate them, but I’d pick a date over a fig any day. When it comes to the fresh ones though, I can eat almost an entire box, but I wouldn’t recommend it, that’s a lot of fiber.
