                                Fresh figs are highly perishable, lasting only 2-3 days at room temperature compared to 5-7 days when refrigerated. Deciding where to store this delicate fruit, therefore, depends on how soon you plan to eat them and whether preserving their fresh flavor is more important than extending their shelf life.
