It’s the only way! When I was a kid our neighbor had a big old Mission Fig tree with so many figs, we climbed up and picked a big bowlful, while eating so many!

We ate all the ones that split when we were picking them, so they were the ripest. And we didn’t eat the skin, just scraped the insides out with our teeth. So decadent!

Fully-ripe figs don’t travel well at all.
