Care Guide
Preserve the Freshness of your Kiarita Fig
INSPECTION AND DRY REST
Place the figs on a tray in a single layer without stacking them. Do not wash them until the moment of consumption; external moisture accelerates their ripening and deterioration.
STRATEGIC REFRIGERATION
Store them in the fruit drawer of the refrigerator. We recommend covering them with absorbent paper to protect their delicate skin from condensation and direct cold.
LONG-TERM PRESERVATION
If you do not consume them soon, you can freeze them in an airtight container. They will maintain their flavor and properties, being ideal for smoothies, desserts, or jams.
