The fig is not a fruit itself, but a combination of fruits.

There are over 600 different fig tree (Ficus Carica) species.

It is known that people started collecting figs between the years 8000 and 10.000 b. C.

The fig has great digestive properties due to its high fibre content that promotes regular bowel movements.

The blooming is barely noticeable to the eye because of the tiny size of the flowers.

It can be consumed fresh and dry.
