How long do dried figs last in the pantry?
Once a bag of dried figs is open, it is best to place them in an airtight container so that they can last up to 12 months. If placed in the fridge, dried figs will last up to 18 months in an airtight container.
What is the proper serving size of dried figs?
Dried figs are very fibrous, so it is recommended to eat only about three to four in a sitting. Eating too many dried figs in a short span of time could lead to an upset stomach, bloating, gas, and diarrhea as with many fiber-filled fruits.
How do I tell if my dried figs have gone bad?
As with many other fruits and vegetables, if there are any visible signs of mold or rotting, they should be discarded immediately. If the figs look okay, then smell them, if they smell off or musty, then they are starting to go bad and should not be eaten. And lastly, if everything looks and smells good, but you have bitten into a fig that doesn't taste how it should, they are starting good bad and should be discarded.
