Figs: The Ancient, Delicious, Slightly Weird “Fruit” (That’s Not Actually a Fruit)
Figs have been around forever—we’re talking thousands of years, popping up in ancient Greek, Roman, and Middle Eastern history. But despite looking like a fruit and tasting sweet and jammy, figs technically aren’t fruits at all. They’re actually an inverted flower. Yep… the flowers grow inside the fig. Weird, but cool.
That soft, chewy texture? It’s packed with tiny seeds that add a natural crunch. Fresh figs taste mildly sweet and earthy, while dried figs are richer and almost candy-like.
They’re not just tasty—they’re nutrient-rich, too:
- High in fiber, which helps digestion
- Contain potassium, important for muscles and heart health
- Provide calcium and magnesium, supporting bones
- Naturally sweet with no added sugar
And yes, you might’ve heard the rumor about figs and wasps. Don’t panic 😄—modern figs sold in stores are perfectly safe to eat, and most varieties don’t involve that process at all.
Whether eaten fresh, dried, stuffed, baked, or chopped into snacks, figs are one of those foods that feel fancy while still being totally natural.
Ancient. Nutritious. Slightly strange. Absolutely worth trying.
