Harvest figs when they reach full size and the skin softens slightly, indicating ripeness. Color will deepen as fruit matures. Pick by gently twisting and pulling the fig from the branch, or cut with a clean knife if it resists. Ripe figs are delicate and best used immediately after harvest, though they can be refrigerated briefly.
