Just received my order of "mission figs". Saw them online, always wanted tor try them, so gave it a whirl.

Unfortunately, I miscalculated in the quantity. I thought I was ordering 1 pound, and I ordered 5 pounds.

So my questions are these:
1. How long do figs keep?
2. Anyone with suggestions as to what to do with five pounds of them?

Ahem.

Its another reason I hate this season....I have real trouble with impulse purchases. 🙂

Figs rule. Eat those bastards.

Are they fresh? I'm sure there is a fairly easy way to dry them.

Did they come in a box? Just put 'em in Ziploc bags and throw them in the deep freeze. They're so high in sugar that bacteria can't grow in them (though if left out, you could get some insects laying eggs in them). They'll last forever. And the time you spend in the bathroom should be significantly reduced.

they say "dried".

(But they're moist, like prunes, in a bag. "Moist dry"? WTF?

But whatever they are, they taste great.

Almost too good....if I eat a lot of them, do they work like prunes?

Ah yes. You're of that age where you actually buy prune juice not for the taste but for the medicinal purposes. 8O

Natural Benefits and Curative Properties

Many medicinal virtues have been ascribed to the fig. It is considered a restorative food which helps in quick recovery after prolonged illness. It removes physical and mental exertion and endows the body with renewed vigor and strength. It is an excellent tonic for the weak people who suffer cracks in lips tongue and mouth.

* Constipation :- Taken either fresh or dried, the fig is regarded as a dependable laxative on account of its large cellulose content and its tough skin. The tiny seeds in the fruit possess the property of stimulating peristaltic or wave like movements of intestines which facilitates easy evacuation of faeces and keeps the alimentary canal clean.
* Piles :- Owing to its laxative property, the fig is an excellent remedy for piles. Two or three dried figs should be soaked in cold water in a glass of enamelware in the night after cleaning them thoroughly with hot water. They should be taken next morning. Figs should be taken similarly in the evening. This will remove straining at stools and thus prevent the protrusion of the anus. The piles will be cured with regular use of figs in this manner for three or four weeks.
* Asthma :- Figs are considered beneficial in the treatment of asthma. Phlegmatic cases of cough and asthma are treated with success by their use. It gives comfort to the patient by draining of the phlegm.
* Sexual Weakness :- Figs can be beneficially used in the treatment of sexual debility. They can be supplemented by other dry fruits like almonds and dry dates along with butter. Their use has proved effective in such cases.
* Corns :- For corns of long duration, the milky juice of green figs helps to soften them. The milk has a mild necrotic action.

Mission figs are very high in fiber, so they will promote regularity. I don't know if they have a laxative effect like prunes do, but they'll certainly make the process easier and quicker.

I love you all like brothers, but I don't think we are at the stage of our relationship to talk about regularity. But if we are, have any of you ever had laproscopic surgery anywhere in your abdomen. Talk about pain, had my appendix out 15 years ago, couldn't pass the air for about 5 days - I wish I would have thought of prunes.

Wade send me a pound of those figs. I'll trade you for some honey.
