For example,

1. main generally taste better than its breba?

2. Main generally smaller than breba?

3. Main generally has lighter skin colors?

4. Main longer in shape,  breba shorter, flatter?

Anything else?

Very few varieties have brebas that taste better than mains. Brebas are usually larger than mains.

I wouldn't say color is much different from one crop to another. But you can limit the number of figs growing. I find that this allows them to ripen quicker and taste better.

Any other fig experts have observed any general differences?
