fig definition and meaning

What is a "fig"?

A fig is a unique and delectable fruit known for its distinctive features. It originates from the Ficus tree and has a tender, chewy flesh with a sweet and slightly nutty flavor. What makes figs stand out are their soft, pear-shaped bodies and their delicate skin that comes in various shades of purple, green, or brown. Each fig is filled with tiny, edible seeds that add a pleasing crunch to its overall texture. Figs are often enjoyed fresh or dried, and their rich sweetness pairs well with both savory and sweet dishes. With their enticing aroma and luscious taste, figs make a delightful addition to salads, desserts, and even cheese boards, bringing a touch of natural elegance to the table.
