How to choose fresh and delicious figs

You should choose figs that are medium-sized, bright and attractive in color, with a shiny outer skin that is not scratched.
Choose figs that feel firm in hand, of a certain weight, not too light, and when pressed should feel like an egg, not soft.
Do not choose large figs that feel light in hand, have wrinkled skin, are dried out or leaking juice, as these indicate the figs have been stored too long and are no longer fresh.
