Description/Taste
Tiger Stripe figs have a tear-drop shape, averaging 3-5 centimeters in diameter, and are a smaller variety with a bulbous base, tapering to a short neck. The skin is smooth, thin, and pale-yellow, covered in light to dark green vertical striping. Underneath the surface, the skin is connected to a layer of soft, white-yellow flesh, encasing a crimson, sticky pulp. There are also many small, edible seeds suspended within the pulp giving it a crunchy and semi-dry, jam-like consistency. Tiger Stripe figs are aromatic with a sweet and bright, berry flavor with hints of citrus, often likened to the taste of raspberry preserves.
 

Seasons/Availability
Tiger Stripe figs are available in the late summer through fall in hot, dry climates.
