FIG
Called "the poor man's food" in the Mediterranean countries.
Chief producers are Italy, Portugal, Spain, Turkey,
Greece, and Algeria. Smaller producers are
the U.S., Mexico, Brazil, Peru,
Argentina and Australia.
In the U.S., the
main production is in the central valleys of California.
They have a laxative effect, provide calcium and
phosporus, and dried they are high in iron.
When fresh, figs should be purchased
unsulfured. Try eating a dried
fig with an almond in
the middle.
"Behold, I Have Given You Every Herb Bearing Seed..."
Genesis 1:29

My Mommie told me that when they went to Key West, she had a Roasted Fig and Gorgonzola pizza and it was very delicious!
A not too sweet and very delicious fruit. I have seen two varieties: green and dark red fig fruits. They are always available in the zoukz.
