The Figary Figs

The Figary Figs Singapore

The Figary Figs are Class 1 fresh figs from South Africa, packed in a convenient 120g punnet for fresh eating, cheese boards, desserts and elegant fruit platters. These figs are delicate, naturally sweet and soft when ripe, with tender skin, tiny edible seeds and a jammy centre.

Grown by The Figary in South Africa, these fresh figs are suitable for customers who enjoy premium fig fruit with a refined, lightly sweet flavour. They can be eaten on their own, paired with cream cheese and honey, served with nuts, or added to charcuterie boards and simple desserts.

Fresh figs are different from dried figs. They are softer, juicier and much more perishable, so they are best enjoyed soon after delivery. When ripe, they should feel soft and supple with gentle pressure, and slight wrinkles on the skin can be normal.

The Figary Figs are especially good for simple pairings. Slice them in half, add a little cream cheese, ricotta or mascarpone, then finish with honey, almonds or walnuts for an easy snack or appetiser.

Origin: South Africa.

The Figary South Africa

The Figary is a South African fig brand from Osdrift Farm in Aan de Doorns, on the banks of the Breede River. The brand is known for fresh and dried figs, with Class 1 export specifications for fresh fig markets.

Fresh figs from South Africa are seasonal, so availability in Singapore depends on harvest timing, air freight, shipment condition and current stock.

Class 1 Fresh Figs

Class 1 fresh figs are selected for better presentation and export quality. They are suitable for customers who want fresh figs that look good for serving, gifting, cheese boards and dessert plates.

Fresh figs are still delicate by nature, so slight skin marks, natural wrinkles or minor differences in size can happen. The most important signs are freshness, aroma, texture and overall condition.

How to Choose Ripe Figs

Choose fresh figs that feel soft with gentle pressure, but not mushy. Slight wrinkles on the skin can be normal when figs are ripe, and some ripe figs may show a little nectar at the opening.

Avoid figs that are very hard, badly bruised, leaking heavily, mouldy, overly wet or sour-smelling. Fresh figs bruise easily, so handle them gently and keep ripe figs refrigerated after delivery.

• Choose figs that feel soft but not mushy
• Look for a fresh, lightly sweet fragrance
• Slight wrinkles can be normal for ripe figs
• A little nectar can be a sign of ripeness
• Avoid mould, sour smell or heavy leaking
• Handle gently because fresh figs bruise easily

When Are Figs Ripe?

Figs are ripe when they feel soft and supple with gentle pressure. A ripe fig may have slightly wrinkled skin, a light fragrance and sometimes a little nectar at the opening.

Wrinkled skin can be normal for ripe fresh figs, but the fruit should not be collapsed, leaking heavily, mouldy or sour-smelling. Ripe figs are delicate and highly perishable, so keep them refrigerated and enjoy them as soon as possible.

How to Eat The Figary Figs

The Figary Figs can be eaten whole after a gentle rinse. The skin, flesh and tiny seeds are edible. You may trim the stem if preferred, then enjoy the fruit whole, halved or sliced.

• Eat fresh on their own
• Slice over yoghurt or oatmeal
• Serve with cream cheese and honey
• Pair with almonds, walnuts or pistachios
• Add to salads with rocket or spinach
• Use for baked figs, tarts and desserts
• Serve on cheese and charcuterie boards

Fresh Figs with Cream Cheese and Honey

For a simple serving idea, slice The Figary Figs in half and add a small spoon of cream cheese, ricotta or mascarpone on the cut side. Drizzle lightly with honey and finish with almonds, walnuts or pistachios.

This pairing brings together the natural sweetness of fresh figs, the creamy richness of cheese and the nutty crunch of toppings. It works well as a snack, appetiser or simple dessert.

Almond Fig Pairings

Fresh figs pair beautifully with almonds because the nutty crunch balances the soft, jammy fruit. Almond fig combinations work well in breakfast bowls, tarts, salads, cakes and dessert plates.

For a quick plate, serve sliced figs with toasted almonds, Greek yoghurt and a little honey. They also pair well with mascarpone, ricotta, goat cheese and mild blue cheese.

Baked Figs

Baked figs are a simple way to enjoy ripe fresh figs. Cut the figs in half, place them on a baking tray, and bake until warm and soft.

Serve baked figs with yoghurt, ice cream, mascarpone, ricotta, goat cheese, almonds, walnuts or a light drizzle of honey. They can be used for both sweet and savoury dishes.

Fresh Figs for Cheese Boards and Platters

The Figary Figs are a natural fit for cheese boards and fruit platters because they look attractive and pair well with both sweet and savoury flavours.

They go well with soft cheese, cured meats, crackers, nuts, grapes, berries and honey. For the best appearance, cut figs just before serving so the flesh stays fresh and glossy.
