Black Mission Fig

The Black Mission Fig, noted for its rich, sweet flavor and soft, chewy texture, is a versatile staple for creative cooking. Originating from Spain and named for mission priests who planted the fruit in California, its dark purple skin and pink flesh are as visually striking as they are delicious. Whether you're popping them in your mouth fresh, adding them to salads for a burst of sweetness, or making a rich fig jam, these figs elevate any dish. They're also quite healthy, being high in fiber and a great source of essential minerals like potassium and magnesium.
