Ficus carica
Ficus carica
Ficus carica, commonly known as the common fig or edible fig, is a deciduous tree or large shrub native to the Mediterranean region and parts of western and southern Asia. It grows up to 7-10 meters tall with smooth white bark and deeply lobed leaves. The fruit, referred to as a syconium, is a multiple fruit with numerous small flowers that develop into seeds. The edible portion is the fleshy, sweet interior, which ripens from green to purple or brown. Figs are cultivated for their edible fruits and are known for their tolerance to moderate frost, making them suitable for various climates. They have been cultivated since ancient times and are now grown worldwide.

Rosales
Moraceae
Figs contain various phytochemicals, including polyphenols like gallic acid, chlorogenic acid, syringic acid, (+)-catechin, (−)-epicatechin, and rutin. The color of figs can vary due to different concentrations of anthocyanins, with cyanidin-3-O-rutinoside being particularly high in some cultivars. Figs are also rich in sugars, primarily glucose and fructose, with minimal sucrose content.
Figs are used fresh or dried and can be processed into jams, rolls, biscuits, dessert fillings and many other types of desserts. They are also known for their medicinal properties, including the use of fig sap to soften calluses and remove warts. Figs are a moderate source of dietary fiber and contain significant levels of glucose and fructose, making them useful in various dietary applications. The milky sap of the fig plant is used in some folk remedies and has been historically employed as a mild laxative when combined with senna.
