Fig varieties and best uses

The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common fig varieties compare.

Variety	Best for
Black Mission	Fresh eating, tarts, and roasting: deep purple skin with sweet, jammy flesh; the supermarket default.
Brown Turkey	Baking and preserves: milder and less sweet, with a long season and good availability.
Kadota	Canning and poaching: green-skinned and firm, holds its shape under heat.
Calimyrna	Drying and cheese boards: large, golden, and nutty with dense flesh.

Which should I pick?

For fresh eating and tarts, Black Mission is the widely stocked all-rounder: deep purple skin and sweet, jammy flesh. Brown Turkey is milder and good for baking and preserves. Reach for Kadota, a green-skinned fig that holds its shape when cooked, for canning and poaching; Calimyrna is large, golden, and nutty, the best pick for drying and cheese boards.
