Dried figs black mission and golden wholesaler
1
Black Mission figs are extremely sweet (sometimes they even ooze a bit of syrup, which you should take as a very good sign when picking or buying them)
Despite their name, they aren’t black—more of an insanely deep blue-purple that is gorgeous in its own right
Inside they are beautifully pink
Their dark exteriors make any wilted or puckering from being less-than-fresh quite obvious, making it all the easier to find perfectly ripe specimens
Their insane sweetness makes them perfect for serving plain or with yogurt or tangy fresh cheese (such as mascarpone, fresh ricotta, Fromage blanc, or farmers’ cheese) for dessert
Also, try them whole or halved on cheese platters, chopped and put on crostini, or sliced and layered into fresh fruit tarts 2
Brown figs have brownish-dark purple skin, a milder flavor than other figs, and are noticeably less sweet than the similar-looking Black Mission figs
Inside, they tend to be a paler pink than other figs
Brown Turkey figs work well in salads, where their lighter sweetness is a welcome contrast, or in desserts where an additional sweetener will be used
If all you have are Brown Turkeys and you want dessert, drizzle them with honey and run them under the broiler for a moment until they sitheye and bubble, or use them to make fig bread
Or, you can always use them to make fig jam

Calimyrna figs are large compared to other figs and have greenish, slightly golden skin
They have striking pink insides that are made more striking by the contrast with their exteriors
Because of their stunning interiors, Calimyras is a great option just to cut up and serve as-is
They have a distinctive nutty flavor
All figs have that nuttiness, of course, which is why they’re so good with nuts, but this variety has a stronger sense of nut about them
Because of their nutty side, they also make a pretty addition to relish trays, as well as cheese or charcuterie platters
Or set them on a grill for a beyond-easy dessert
Golden figs vs mission figs
There are hundreds of varieties of figs in the world, but generally, at Iran markets, they can be divided into two kinds: green and black
The black figs are the most reliable for eating fresh
These are mainly Black Mission and Brown Iranian varieties
Missions can be exquisite, and Iran is usually very good if you are sure to get them very ripe
You can tell the difference between the two because the Missions are generally smaller and a dark purple, almost black
Iranian are usually bigger and paler
Green figs can be either hardly worth the effort or among the best fig,s you’ll ever taste
Among the latter are Adriatic, which has tender skin and a strawberry jam center
Calimyrnas can be good if they are fully ripe, but otherwise, they and Kadotas are best dried or canned; they have tough skins and rather an insipid flavor when eaten fresh
If you get these, peeling before eating will improve the quality
Unfortunately, telling them apart can be difficult
The best solution is to taste one
If they’re terrific, congratulations, you’ve probably found an Adriatic
There is a bit of very good news
Exquisite figs called Panachée or Tiger are now starting to be sold in retail markets
Look for them
The skin has lemon-lime-colored stripes, and the insides look and taste like raspberry jam mixed with a little honey
Robert Schuller of specialty produce distributor Melissa’s says they should be in all Gelson’s, Bristol Farms, and Lazy Acres stores as well as Bob’s Market in Santa Monica and Vintage Grocers in Malibu
Ripe figs are extremely tender and may even have tears in the skin
Look for a little “tear” of juice at the blossom end
And give them a sniff: The distance between really ripe and over-the-hill is extremely small and you don’t want any whiff of fermentation or spoilage

For authenticity, environmental credentials, and pure eating pleasure, few foods can match the Iranian dried Figs
These are the things that the modern consumer demands
While other countries can grow figs, no-one else can reproduce the exact growing conditions found in their native Iran home
It’s what makes Iranian dried Figs one of a kind the real deal
Of all the dried fruits in the world, Iranian Sun-Dried Figs are the most special
Nothing compares to the crunchy texture and the unmistakable sweet, honey-flavored, tender, and amazingly delicious taste
And of all the world’s fig producers, only Iran can claim to be the best of the best

The taste, the tenderness, and the texture of Iranian dried figs combine to produce a unique sensory experience – an experience that is being discovered and enjoyed by more and more people every day
Figs are unique, not only for their wonderful flavor but also for their unusual maturation process
Surprisingly, fig trees have no flowers on their branches; instead, the blossoms are inverted and develop inside the fruit
The figs grow from June to late August and are allowed to fully ripen on the tree from August through September
The figs then fall to the carefully prepared ground where further drying and then harvesting occurs
The figs will be harvested several times during the season
Dried Turkish figs vs mission figs
I usually feel mission figs are rich in sugar, and more honey-like compare to Brwon Turkish figs
On the other hand, Turkish figs are more earthy with better flavor and smell
Turkish dried figs, on the other hand, are more natural besides being tasty
For these reasons, Turkish figs are demanded all around the globe
To sustain this demand, measures are taken to ensure the quality of Turkish dried figs
In recent decades, the traditional technique is further enhanced by modern techniques
For example, Turkish figs are still dried by sunlight, but not in the open air, now they are dried in a greenhouse to ensure a sterile environment
Turkish figs are also screened with UV light to detect low-quality products once the drying is over
Turkish figs are healthier because of two factors
First of all, Turkish figs are dried using sunshine and the second factor is that many modern techniques are employed in washing, drying, packaging, storage, and delivery
Yet all these modern methods are just small enchantments to the traditional way of drying to ensure higher quality natural products without pests
Turkish figs from Turkey are the most known figs in the world
Turkey produces a quarter of fresh figs in the world as well as nearly all of the dried figs in the world
The Mediterranean climate is the most excellent climate to grow figs
Yet, most figs came from several microclimates that provide more than an excellent environment to grow figs
Aydin province of Turkey accounts for 75% of fresh and dried fig production in Turkey
Aydın is followed by Hatay, Mersin and Adana
Turkey produces 78,200 tonnes of dried and 306,499 tonnes of fresh figs each year
