Product details
Capay Candystripe figs are light yellow and green-striped, medium sized and have a rather bottom-heavy tear-drop shape. Beneath the green-ribbed skin lies a crimson-colored seeded pulp with a flavor similar to that of strawberry or raspberry jam. The flavor is light and sweet, as fully ripe Candystripe figs have a high sugar content and are considered to be one of the best tasting of all figs. Although they are delicious raw, try cooking them down to make jam or filling for cookies or make a compote to top ice cream or cheesecake. The sweet flavor and unique look of Candystripe figs pairs well with strong cheeses. Store ripe figs on a paper towel-lined plate or shallow container. Do not stack them. Spread them out and arrange in one layer to avoid bruising and allow for air circulation. Cover plate tightly with plastic wrap.
About the producer
Growing organically since 1976, our farm, Capay Organic, started with 20 acres of star thistle and a dream. Inspired by the idea of farming sustainably, our parents, Kathy Barsotti and Martin Barnes, started the farming traditions that we, their sons, carry on with our families today. Capay Organic practices healthy crop rotation, encouraging a diverse ecosystem around the fields, efficiently using local water sources and carefully selecting produce varieties that grow well and taste great. With nearly 40 types of fruits and vegetables and over 60 varieties, our diverse crop list allows us to provide organic produce and jobs year-round to our family of customers and employees.
