Fig Facts

(Source)

When I was a kid, living in Virginia, we had a HUGE Fig tree in our neighborhood.. I remember eating so many figs, I would make myself sick. : ) good times

I was curious to learn more about what I used to chow down on. Actually, I'd still eat Figs until I was sick if I had my own Fig tree. haha

• Figs are fat-free, sodium-free and, like other plant foods, cholesterol-free.(source)

• Figs have the highest overall mineral content of all common fruits. (source)
  

Something new: Religion and FOOD

• In the Book of Jeremiah in the Old Testament rotten figs are used as a symbol for destruction, and in the New Testament Jesus rebukes an unfruitful fig tree. (source)

• The fig is one of the two sacred trees in Islam (source).

I thought that was interesting. Hmm I actually don't HAVE a Fig recipe. Any suggestions? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have to cut it short for you guys tonight.. It's been a crazy day.. I went to get my hair colored to blonde tonight (my natural color) and it took over 3 HOURS. I'm not blonde now either. Blah it's along story. Either way it's about my bed time folks. Talk with you all tomorrow!! : ) Night night
