Fig 1 article

A fig has a soft interior packed with tiny seeds beneath an edible skin, giving the fruit a texture unlike most common tree fruits. Ficus carica produces green, purple, and dark varieties that may be eaten fresh, dried, sliced over yogurt, baked, or cooked into jam and preserves. Drying makes the flesh denser and chewier, while fresh figs are delicate and highly perishable. The seedy interior and syconium structure are useful identifiers when separating figs from other sweet fruits.
