We decided to try drying some and also to make some jam and preserve for winter. In the next Image, I would like to share the picture of the bottles of fig jam. The dried figs were quite edible and didn’t last a day! We shared our vegetables and jams with our eldest daughter living 500 kilos away. They visited for a long weekend, that was the best part of our story.
Very interesting! These trees are many around me, even I have them as bonsai but have never tasted the fruit in any way.
Believe me Albert, they are amazingly healthy, even from Biblical times, figs are rich in minerals including potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron and copper and are a good source of antioxidant vitamins A and K that contribute to health and wellness. Vitamin K2 is one mineral that really fights aging by detoxing your liver. Thanks for reading and commenting.
I did read the benefits of the fruit, but I hadn’t been moved to taste it either. This reminds me again about that. Thanks.
They look luscious! I have never seen fresh figs before.
I thought those were figs. My Grandmother always had fig trees. She made preserves.
