I didn't know they were edible. I don't know that I've ever seen them in stores before.
If you have to many to process at the time they are ripening I would think you could use a Food Vacuum system like a Food Saver & seal them & freeze them until you are ready to use them in a recipe. That's what I did with fresh figs this year & it worked out great.
