Persian Figs

I visited the wonderful Sunflower International, an Iranian-Jewish market on Queens Boulevard and 64^th Road in the Rego Park section of Queens where, along with four new kinds of lentils and some whole mahlob, I picked up these strikingly beautiful Persian figs. They are a bit harder than commonly available dried figs, but not as hard as they look. So far I am just enjoying them with tea or sage tea. They are mildly sweet and intensely figgy. I bet they’re just as anti-oxidant as all get-out, Sweetnicks.
