Figs
The fig is one of the oldest domesticated fruits with references dating
back thousands of years.
Figs grow all over the world and come in
an astonishing range of varieties and characteristics. Unique in their sweet
flavour and succulent texture, figs are not truly a fruit but actually an
inverted flower.
They are shaped like small pears and their skin colour ranges from green
and yellow to purple, black and brown. The seedy flesh is pinkish red or
white with a sweet flavour.
Seasonal Availability
Figs are available
from October to April.
Serving Size
Two raw, medium figs (80g) provide one serve of fruit.
