Fall is in season and so are figs! This overlooked fruit probably got a bad rap from being widely introduced as Fig Newtons -the dry and hollow flavored fig stuffed snack bars. Dark, shapely, succulent, and fleshy like a fine woman, figs are anything but dry and devoid of flavor. This fruit is unique in that its edible structure is actually stem tissue. The fig fruit is an inverted flower with both the male and female flower parts enclosed in stem tissue. Get this -the so-called seeds are nothing more than unfertilized ovaries that failed to develop. Fig is naturally rich in many health benefiting phyto-nutrients (plant derived nutrients necessary for sustaining life), anti-oxidants, and vitamins, which include iron, calcium, potassium, vitamin E, C, K, and at least 5 different types of B Vitamins.
