We have 4 fig trees on our property, and each produces a bounty of plump, sweet fruits. The trees are only 10-15 feet tall with broad, flat leaves, and several "trunks".
Our figs are purple and tender when ripe, and they fall off the tree with the gentlest tug. Green figs are not quite ready for harvesting; they are firmer and would require more force to pull off the branch.
During the height of the season, a mere 10 minute harvest yields about 2.5 pounds of fruit!
The closer to ripe, the higher the antioxidant content of figs! They are also good sources of fiber, magnesium, manganese, calcium, copper, potassium, and vitamins including K and B6.
We like to eat them raw, sometimes as part of a beautiful platter of decadent treats.
We also alchemize them into dank preserves that we offer on Peerhub by SBD donation!!!
