Introduction

The fig (Ficus carica) is an Asian species of flowering plant in the mulberry family. It is an important commercial crop and native to the Mediterranean and western Asia. The plant can grow up to 7-10 metres tall and its fruit develops as a hollow, fleshy structure that has a seed in the middle of its flesh. The whole fig fruit is 3–5 centimetre long, with a green skin that sometimes ripens toward purple or brown.

The fig is believed to be originated in northern Asia Minor and spread with the Greeks and the Romans throughout the Mediterranean region. During the 16th century it was introduced in California and evidence shows that it was in abundance in both China and England by this time as well. Some historians consider it the first of the domesticated crops.

I received my first box yesterday, and I am highly impressed with the packaging. None of the fruits were bruised, and they were maintained at an appropriate temperature. I am enjoying the experience of trying out new fruits that I had not encountered before. Wildlife
