Esse figo não parece maduro para mim ... mas eu não estou vendo isso pessoalmente. Com base nas informações do site mencionado abaixo, é provável que o figo não esteja maduro, pois o pescoço é muito reto.
Comer figos verdes não vai machucá-lo, embora ... eles simplesmente não tenham um sabor muito bom.
Independentemente disso, eles devem ser ligeiramente macios, não firmes. De acordo com este site , eles vai cair em suas hastes com o peso de suas frutas. Aqui estão duas das várias fotos mostrando um figo não maduro e muito maduro:
Fig 1. (above) Not ripe: the fig is too firm and still perpendicular to the stem.
Fig 4. Gravity wins and the fig is ripe and ready, no longer able to support its weight. Note the dewy skin and slight tear in the fruit; it can barely hold its sugary contents at this point. (Time to grab the snips and go crazy!)
Aqui está outro site com ainda mais info, semelhante ao anterior. Eles listam três métodos para saber quando um figo está maduro: visão, tato e paladar.
Visão:
Go by the color. One of the first signs your figs are becoming ripe is their change in color. Young, immature and unripe figs tend to be small and green in hue. For varieties like Brown Turkey, Chicago Hardy, Celeste, and LSU Purple, the color will change from green to brown or purple as the fruit ripens. In the case of certain fig varieties, like Kadota and LSU Gold, the fruit’s mature color is still greenish — so how do you rely on sight if the fig’s color doesn’t noticeably change? Read on!
Go by the appearance. The fruit itself will droop on the tree as it ripens. This is true for figs regardless of mature color. Young, firm figs tend to stand out perpendicular to the tree. As they ripen and soften, the fruit will bend at the stalk where it is attached to the tree.
Go by the size. As the fruit matures on the tree, it will also grow in size*. The mature size depends on the variety you are growing, but the figs will all increase in size as they begin to mature and ripen on the tree.
Toque:
A ripe fig will be soft to the touch when gently squeezed. Unripe figs are still firm. This is because the ripening process has not yet taken place, and the juices and sugars that are produced as the fruit ripens are not fully present.
Gosto:
Ripe figs are delightfully rich and sweet with a soft, smooth texture when they are fresh from the tree. Unripe figs can be rubbery, dry, and lack sweetness. The most effective way to tell your figs are unripe is to eat one before its peak. Most people only eat an unripe fig once before deciding to wait and allow figs to fully ripen before harvesting.
