Do figs actually have flowers?
The appearance of the figs we usually eat is composed of a receptacle, and thousands of flowers and small seeds are hidden in the receptacle. In botany, this phenomenon is called "cryptic inflorescence", so what we eat is actually a receptacle. Flowers and Nectar!
It is a natural phenomenon that the bottom of the fig bursts, and the flowers grow out from the bottom. The cryptocephalic flower of the fig is the most important feature of this genus, because the flower grows in the fruit, which is the biggest difference between the fig plant and other genera in the Moraceae family. The bottom inside is the female flower, so it is called a fig.
Many people think that figs are trees that bear fruit without blooming, but in fact figs have flowers, but their flowers are hidden in the relatively fertile receptacle, which is called hidden head in plant research. Inflorescences, so the name "fig" comes from this.
Where are the fresh figs?
Figs like warm and dry climates, and are suitable for planting in sandy soil with good drainage. There are farms in central and southern Taiwan. The organic figs selected come from Kanding, Pingtung. In order to prevent the figs from being damaged by rain, the orchid-grade net room is used to cultivate them. Organic fertilizers are used to repel insects with natural ingredients. The quality of the organic figs grown is thick and juicy, Aroma and taste are very good.
Because the main part is flowers, the fresh-keeping period of figs is very short after harvesting, and the price is much higher than other fruits. Due to the difficulty in transportation and storage, figs are not seen in the general market. In addition to buying fresh figs directly from the farm, you can also go to the local farm market to buy fresh figs!
