My neighbor gave me some figs from his in-ground mature Black Mission fig tree. This fig weighs 25g. It is a bit juicy near the stem, but the eye is quite dry. When you eat it, the fig has a pasty texture due to the dryness I presume. Was this fig just picked too early? Would it get juicier or just start to dry on the tree? Is this variety just not that impressive?

That doesn’t looks like a Mission. It looks more like a Brown Turkey to me. A perfectly ripe Mission figs have strawberry to red pulp. They are delicious even without the wasps.San Francisco Zone 10B.
