Storage
Store in a cool, dry, dark place in a well-sealed container. Please note, sugar crystallization is a major challenge for dried fruits such as figs which have low moisture levels and high sugar contents. This is mainly a visual change (whitish sugar crystals on the outside of the fruit) and does not affect the quality. If desired, you can spread the figs on a baking sheet and carefully heat them on low heat to melt the exterior sugars which will return the figs to their original glossy appearance.
