I just ate about eight figs. They were sweet and delicious. The figs were purchased at Trader Joe’s and I was overwhelmingly impressed by the texture, flavor, freshness and subtlety. I usually don’t like eating figs at all. They were kind of squishy and soft to the touch, very tender. The taste was like a mix between a slightly crunchy date and a raisin. In past I’ve eaten figs and they were either sweetened using sugars and other sweeteners and I didn’t really enjoy them. They tasted fake. But these raw figs from Trader Joe’s were so scrumptious I was able to eat tons of them before lunch started. Another interesting thing about the figs is that they aren’t too filling. I was able to eat them without loosing my appetite. If you look at the picture to the top left of this post you’ll see my artistic interpretation of how I feel when I eat these figs. The energy light beams coming from the figs are their pizazz.
