Fig

The fig is a sweet, pear-shaped fruit with a thin, edible skin that ranges in color from green to deep purple or black, encasing a soft, juicy interior filled with tiny, crunchy seeds. Native to the Middle East and Mediterranean, figs grow on the Ficus carica tree and are enjoyed fresh, dried, or in culinary dishes for their honey-like sweetness and slightly chewy texture. Rich in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, figs offer health benefits like improved digestion and heart health, and their unique flavor pairs well with cheeses, nuts, and savory dishes. Historically revered in many cultures, figs symbolize abundance and fertility, and they thrive in warm, sunny climates, with peak seasons in summer and early fall.
