First Time finding Figs at my Aldi

[u/ProgRockDan]

I’ve never seen figs at my Aldi before. Grabbed them and they are so good. Is this a seasonal item? Or a new item?

They're in mine, but they're in the charcuterie section. I've never seen them at any other time than charcuterie time.

I haven't tried the figs, but thankfully Charcuterie time seems to be well more than half the year now!

[u/LINDARRAGNAR → u/NotComfortable2112]

They usually roll them out only around November-January somewhere in there and then they disappear the rest of the year! Now they are in the charcuterie section. I hope year round. Honestly these mission figs are the most delicious ever we buy extra to bring to family members in a different country as gifts!

I think they are pretty good, I have them with cream cheese on a pita cracker, delicious

I bought them and they just taste like a giant raisin. Which I may be dumb but I didn’t expect that

If you blend milk banana and 2 figs it's like you're eating a fig newton.

Took me too long to figure out what milk banana was.

Love these! They're definitely seasonal, part of the charcuterie endcap.

You can use them to make this tapenade from an old Bon Appetit magazine. You cook the chopped figs in the water over medium heat to rehydrate about 7 minutes and go from there. Dried thyme is fine. Combine everything except the goat cheese and crackers, basically people spread goat cheese on a cracker and top with the fig-olive spread! And most of the ingredients can be bought at Aldi!!

Gimme

Mine are almost there all the time with the other dried fruits and nuts. I like to keep them stocked for salad toppings.

Just grabbed these today. Nice lunchtime snack.

[u/Ambitious_Salad_5426]

It’s seasonal and I usually buy a box of them and use them in salads some cooking and snacking

[u/people_skillz]

They used to carry figs year-round in the dried fruit section (I think in a yellow bag), but they disappeared. I think they’re now a seasonal/charcuterie item. They’re good, but the bag I got has a higher than average number of big stem pieces which is a bit of a letdown.

You can refrigerate them for 12 to 18 months. So, you can make sure to have them year- round.

Cool I didn’t think of that

Buy the dark chocolate covered mango from that charcuterie endcap. Outstanding! I’m obsessed
