Dried Figs, (Ziyad) 400g

These were nothing like the figs I bought previously and couldn't find this time, they didn't last long and are hard as a rock. Really bad packaging!

THE PACKAGING IS COMPLETELY INADEQUATE [ 2 PIECE CONTAINER WITH AIR ACCESS -- NO PLASTIC SHRINK-WRAP!!] FOR FRESH DRIED FRUIT: FIGS, DATES, APRICOTS, ETC; TERRIBLE. THE SOFT FRESHNESS CANNOT BE PRESERVED DURING EXPORT/IMPORT, SHELF LIFE & SHIPPING. I HAD TO 'RETURN' MINE.IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL WHEN THE FRUIT WAS PACKAGED OR HOW LONG "THEY " EXPECT TO MAINTAIN CHEWABLE SOFTNESS W/OUT NEED TO BOIL.

Ordered several times. Usually they are plump and sweet and tan colored, better than California and Greek figs. However, the last time many of the figs were dark brown or black and had an off taste. The figs + shipping is pretty expensive, so I am hesitating to order again. I guess I'll wait a while and then try again.

in the bag at the supermarket until I had two very rancid, swollen bags within a few months of each other and had my polite query and subsequent complaint completely ignored by the producer. I then started looking for something else to cut up into our breakfast cereal. These are a little tougher to cut up, but are less sticky and thus easier to handle once cut up. They have a tough stem which must be cut off. They seem fresher than the black ones and are tasty, although not very sweet, and are consistent in quality within this first container. I did also try one other brand from Amazon, which I liked perhaps a bit better, but they seem to have disappeared. If I could have given this 3 1/2 stars, that would be more accurate, I feel.

I rarely have a bad one in the batch. These are usually very sticky and moist and have a delicious flavor. I order this brand quite often.

not good they old

Figs were not packaged as in the picture and had been repacked in a square package; perhaps that is why I found some of them a bit dry, otherwise tasted OK.

Drier than I had expected but taste good.
