Here’s the clever idea behind your statement: it’s actually a play on words.
- “Fig leaves” are literally leaves from a fig tree, but in this context, the “gold” is figs themselves. Ripe figs are sweet, valuable in taste and nutrition, and sometimes referred to as “gold” in a poetic sense.
- The phrase “you didn’t even know it” hints that many people might overlook fig leaves while harvesting or enjoying the fruit.
So the “recipe” is probably a way to turn ordinary fig leaves into something valuable or delicious, like a jam, tea, or even a medicinal extract. The riddle-like phrasing makes it feel like a hidden treasure.
If you want, I can break down the actual recipe for turning fig leaves into something useful and golden.
Do you want me to do that?
