Can not see the video. But I am sure @ktrain has plans to do this.
If the figs make it that far.

They actually turn out pretty dang good. If you can get over the Styrofoam texture, the flavor is maintained pretty well. It's a good alternative to dehydrated figs. Sometimes it's nice to mix it up. You can also powder them and just sprinkle a bit of fig on everything.

I was wondering how the texture was. Seems like it would be like styrofoam. I do love dehydrated

I love dehydrated too. I won't try and act life freeze dried don't have a Styrofoam consistency - they do. All freeze dried fruit does, it's just kind of what it does. They get stuck in your teeth. They are just different. I do think the subtle flavor holds better on the freeze dried though. Freeze dried also had a similar problem of them all tasting similar

I do a lot of both and enjoy them for different things during the off season. Unfortunately the squirrels cleaned me out last year so I didn't have enough to even bother last year.

Bananas are our favorite...haven't tried figs yet.

Mine are "Dried Freezed" Get it: dehydrated then frozen. Ok sorry bad joke-
Lately I've been trying with Agar agar & fruit combos to make a Fig based gummy food. Been a delicious journey and working pretty well. Agar agar then dehydrating gets you close to Haribo consistency.

Kinda like eating a fig flavored rice cake.
