Sweet, soft fruits with thin skin and red flesh containing many small seeds, or the trees that produce them.
From Old French figue, from Latin ficus. Figs are among humanity's oldest cultivated fruits, dating back over 11,000 years in the Middle East.
Figs have a unique pollination relationship with tiny wasps that live inside the fruit - each fig species has its own dedicated wasp species. Many commercial figs are actually parthenocarpic, meaning they develop without pollination at all.
