Figs Fruit

If you thought that fig trees can only grow if you’re in zones 7 to 9, think again! I keep this patio-sized fig tree over the winter (in my basement or plant room) and bring it outside when the weather gets warm. Then I have a crop or two of these beautiful Mission figs that are super delicious and homegrown! #figs #growingzones #planting #containergardening

There's a dead insect in every fig you eat #fig #insect #fyp #fruit

Figs are a unique fruit that are actually made possible through the help of wasps. Specifically, a tiny insect called the fig wasp is crucial in the pollination and production of figs. The fig wasp is a type of wasp that has co-evolved with the fig tree over millions of years. The female fig wasp enters the fig through a small opening called the ostiole, which is located on the fruit's bottom end. The fig fruit provides a safe haven for the wasp to lay its eggs, as well as a source of food for the developing wasp larvae. While inside the fig, the female fig wasp pollinates the flowers, allowing the fruit to develop seeds. However, the fig fruit also contains an enzyme called ficin, which will eventually break down the dead wasp, digesting it and incorporating it into the fruit. Once the wasp eggs have hatched and the young wasps have matured, the male wasps will dig tunnels through the fig's flesh, allowing the female wasps to leave and search for new figs to colonize. It's worth noting that most commercially available figs that we consume don't contain wasp remnants, as the fruits are harvested before the wasps can complete their life cycle inside. However, the fact that figs rely on the fig wasp for pollination and production makes them a unique and fascinating example of the intricate relationships that exist in the natural world. #figs #figwasp #pollination #fruit #nature #ecology #coevolution #insects #entomology #symbiosis #plantbiology #botany #foodscience #agriculture #gardening #healthyeating #nutritious #vegan #vegetarian #foodie #foodblogger #foodphotography #foodlover #delicious #yum #foodfacts #funfacts #naturefacts #biodiversity #conservation

I came up with this conclusion: figs are crazy. #science #interestingfacts #fruit #figs #nature

Figs (the fruit of Ficus caria) are delicious, but did you know that the leaves are also edible and have a wonderfully aromatic coconut-vanilla flavor profile when boiled? Let me know if you try it for yourself! (I might have to go pick some more pears and make poached pears with fig syrup)!@Redleaf Ranch Recipe: Pick two good handfuls of the freshest, youngest fig leaves you can find. The accompanying stems are extra flavorful so include them too! Boil in enough water to cover leaves until water changes color and is very fragrant. Remove leaves and add an amount of sugar to the water that roughly equals the amount of water you used. Boil until slightly thickened. Cool, bottle, and enjoy! #figleafsyrup #ficuscaria #mushroomauntie #foragedrecipes #simplesyrup

Figs are the best ! #eating

This is the traditional way of making dry figs in the Greek village, Kimi. Other areas around Greece make dry figs in a different way, so they might as well look different! #figs #fruit #agriculture #dryfigs #greece #summerfruits #summerfruit #village #greekvillage #yummyfruits #nutritiousanddelicious #nutritious #nutritiousfood #naturesfood

How do you know when figs are ready to pick? Most outdoor-grown figs are ready at the end of the summer. You can pick the fruits as they ripen through to the end of September. The fruits are ready when the stem bend and the fruits are hanging down. #garden #gardening #gardentok #gardeningtiktok
