The fig, one of mankind's oldest fruits, is only now receiving its due
attention in homes across the United States.
Although considered a fruit, the fig is actually a flower inverted into itself. Originally native from Turkey to northern India, the fig fruit spread to many of the Mediterranean countries.
The primary producers of dried figs today are the United States, Turkey, Greece, and Spain.
This highly nutritious fruit arrived in the United States by Spanish missionaries settling in Southern California in 1759. Fig trees were soon planted throughout the state.
