Black Spanish Fig Breba - Quick Review

This is a my first ripe Black Spanish fig and it is not a good impression... So far.

At first sight it looks like a pretty cool fig. Nice bell shape and great color. However the allure of the black spanish fig only goes skin deep.

Well after the initial "Hello" when you look into the eye of the Black Spanish Breba it splits. Which is not good for this area.

I was brave enough to taste the good bits in the middle and the flavor is quite blah and unappealing.

The sugar level was low and watery and the texture was very unappealing probably due to the split.

2/10

This is a 2nd yr plant. So I'll probably let it go another year before letting it go. If it doesn't improve with age.

I went to Windmill Gardens today in Sumner to see if I could pick up a Pineapple Guava. Unfortunately they did not have any so I ended up taking home one of these Black Spanish AKA Black Jack figs.

I'm pretty sure I already had a small one of these but I didn't want to leave empty handed after driving for over half hr to get there. =)

At $15 bucks it wasn't going to hurt the pocket book too much.
