High-nutrition and healthy dried fruits for consumption Natural Progesterone FIG
FIG (Latin name: Ficus carica Linn.) is a deciduous shrub or small tree of the genus Ficus in the Moraceae family. The plant is multi-branched, and the leaves are small lobed ovate with irregular blunt teeth along the margin. The fruit grows in the axils of the leaves, is pear-shaped, and turns purplish red or yellow when ripe. Figs actually have flowers, but their inflorescences are cryptomerous inflorescences. The flowers are hidden within the fruits. The fruits we usually eat are mainly the flowers of figs. Wild FIG trees can only be pollinated by their companion insect, the FIG wasp.
