Technically an inverted flower, dried figs are enjoyed year-round for their unique flavor, extra-high fiber content and satisfying texture. The season for the delicate, tender fresh fig, though, runs from late summer through early fall. They contain more fiber than any other fruit or vegetable and have a unique flavor that pairs well with other boldly-flavored foods such as dark chocolate, duck, gorgonzola, olives and proscuitto.
