Bought figs? This way of storing them can keep them fresh for a week

To keep figs fresh for up to a week, they need to be carefully selected before storing them in the refrigerator, choosing specimens with shiny skin and soft texture, and discarding those that show mold or are too ripe. The conditioning method includes placing them on a tray that allows air circulation, separated by paper towels to absorb moisture, and wrapping them in cling film or a plastic bag to protect them from refrigerator odors. The recommended location is the fruit and vegetable drawer, and it's important not to pile them up and keep space between each one.
