At Misfits Market, we’re on a mission to make organic grocery delivery more exciting, more accessible, and more sustainable. One of the ways we do that? With our mystery produce—a creative (and fun!) solution that helps farmers use more of their total harvest, while giving you delicious surprises with every box.
These variety-flexible offerings are a win-win: farmers get flexibility, food gets saved from waste, and customers get flavorful, seasonal produce delivered to their door from one of the best organic grocery stores in the market.
What are Season’s Best Mystery Figs?
Figs are one of the most fleeting, magical fruits of late summer and early fall—soft, sweet, floral, and perfectly rich when picked at peak ripeness. Because each variety hits its stride at slightly different moments, we created our Mystery Fig offerings to give farmers flexibility while giving you the best-tasting fruit of the week.
Each time you order either our Season’s Best Mystery Green Figs or our Season’s Best Mystery Figs, you’ll receive one single variety, chosen from whichever figs are ripest and most flavorful at harvest. That might mean dark, jammy Black Mission figs… mellow Brown Turkey… delicately striped Tiger Stripe… or honey-sweet Sierra. No matter what arrives, you’re getting a luscious, sun-ripened bite of the season.
Fig Varieties You Might Receive
Black Mission Figs
Deep purple-black skin, vibrant ruby interior. These are the rich, jammy, dessert-like figs—ultra-sweet with a molasses-y depth. Perfect for snacking, roasting, or pairing with cheese and honey.
Brown Turkey Figs
Milder and more mellow than Black Mission, with coppery-brown skin and a warm, nutty sweetness. Their subtle flavor makes them great for salads, toasts, and savory pairings like prosciutto or goat cheese.
Tiger Stripe Figs
A showstopper: yellow-and-green striped skin with a vibrant pink interior. Delicate, floral, and candy-sweet when perfectly ripe. Tiger Stripe figs are best in desserts, jams, and anywhere you want that “wow, yum” moment.
California Sierra Figs
Bright green skin, honey-sweet flavor, and a soft, custard-like interior. These figs taste like sunshine—mild, clean, and wonderfully juicy. They’re fantastic fresh, grilled, or sliced into yogurt and oatmeal bowls.
What to Do With Your Mystery Figs
Figs are versatile, decadent, and delicious. Try:
- Eating them fresh for the purest flavor (just rinse, slice, and enjoy)
- Roasting with honey or balsamic until caramelized
- Pairing with soft cheeses like burrata, goat cheese, ricotta, or brie
- Stuffing with nuts or mascarpone for an elegant appetizer
- Adding to salads with arugula, prosciutto, and toasted nuts
- Grilling whole for smoky-sweet dessert vibes
