The LSU Purple Fig, a Louisiana State University release, is known for its rich, sweet flavor with a slight berry-like tartness. The flesh is deep pink to red, juicy, and smooth, while the skin is a thin, dark purple to black when ripe. The flavor profile is complex and robust, making these figs perfect for fresh eating, preserving, and baking.
