A fig is a small, sweet fruit with soft flesh and many tiny seeds inside. It grows on fig trees in warm climates and can be eaten fresh or dried.
It comes from Old French “figue,” from Latin “ficus,” meaning “fig tree” or “fig.” The fruit has been known and named for thousands of years around the Mediterranean.
Figs are actually inverted flowers that bloom inside the fruit, so you’re eating a kind of inside-out blossom. In many old stories and religions, fig trees symbolized knowledge, peace, or even the beginning of civilization.
