Figs (fresh): Juicy fresh figs are a delicious treat well worth discovering. Sink your teeth into Black Mission or Brown Turkey figs from California for a delicious, slightly sweet snack.
Tips for selecting: Look for figs that are soft and fragrant. Handle carefully because their fragile skins bruise easily.
Tips for storing: Store fully ripened figs in the refrigerator up to 2 days; bring to room temperature before serving.
Nutritional benefits: Naturally good for you, figs are fat free, cholesterol free and sodium free. And, with more fiber than any other fruit or vegetable, they're also an ideal way to increase your dietary fiber.



Fillet: To cut meat away from the bone.



Flambé: To pour brandy or liqueur over food, warm and ignite with a match.



Fold: To combine a light mixture with a heavier one without stirring or beating, but gently lifting from underneath with a rubber spatula by using an over-and-over motion.



Fork Tender: A way to determine doneness of braised or stewed meat. Meat should feel tender when inserting a fork into the thickest part.
