Figs with yogurt and honey | 1 family. friendly. food.

IMG_7645c

It’s been many years since I bought figs. I think.

I usually pass by them and rarely grab one. Sometimes they’re too expensive. Sometimes they’re not so fresh, sometimes… they are just not that tempting.

But my sister loves figs.

When she was visiting us, we went grocery shopping and she instinctively reach her hand, got one little basket, and put it in the cart. (Who do you think paid?)

We snacked on them at home. Not even one fig was saved. I forgot how exciting it can be to eat a fig.


When they are ripe just right, they are so sweet and taste like good honey, and so special.

You got to admit, there IS something unique about figs that you don’t get with any other fruit. Not even with a pluot.

Could it be the forbidden fruit?

Figs with yogurt, honey and…

So, basically (first time I’m using this word!), for the perfect quick little snack, you take:

1/2 – 1 cup of thick yogurt
a few figs, sliced
nectarine, diced
some berries, sliced
nuts, if you are… into nuts, chopped
and a drizzle of honey

    What a delicious, simple indulgance. Although, I’ve only had dried figs, maybe the Turkish ones? I don’t know why I’m hesitant to try other kinds…

    Those are just gorgeous. I don’t know if we can get them on the east coast, but I’ve had them when visiting California.

    As was with the plouts’ post, I assumed everyone gets these fruits at their local grocery stores. I guess not. Thought that if we get produce from Chile, Israel, Mexico, etc, to the US then they are availbale in all the States…

    I got the joke. Looks like I owe you a basket of figs.
    When you cut a fig and look inside it does look like something “forbidden”. Can I be blunt for a moment? Like sperm trying to penetrate an ovary. Yes, forbidden but important for the continuation of human existence.

    I have yet to try a fig and I’m convinced people use them in dishes because they’re pretty. How do they taste? :) This does look good.

    I have never tried a fig but I will get a punnet soon. I am seeing so many online to ignore them anymore. But they cost a fortune here in Singapore.
