Figs are the fruit of the ficus tree,
which is part of the mulberry family (Moraceae). They have a unique, sweet
taste, soft and chewy texture and are littered with slightly crunchy, edible
seeds. Fresh figs are delicate and perishable, so are often dried to preserve. There
are multiple different varieties of fig, all of which vary widely in colour and
texture. Figs are also used as a quick and healthy way to gain weight after
suffering from an illness. The fig tree is a member of the mulberry family,
usually found in Asia. The dried form of fig is available almost everywhere,
all year round. The health benefits of figs come from the presence of minerals,
vitamins, and fiber contained in the fruits. They contain a wealth of
beneficial nutrients, including vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, calcium,
iron, phosphorus, manganese, sodium, potassium, and chlorine.
