| Maw Maw always wondered why her fig cake was always so moist. Read what californiafigs.com reveals on figs: Figs contain a natural humectant -- a chemical that will extend freshness and moistness in baked products. Although considered a fruit, the fig is actually a flower that is inverted into itself. The seeds are drupes, or the real fruit. Figs are the only fruit to fully ripen and semi-dry on the tree.
For many years the fig has been used as a coffee substitute. The fruit contains a proteolytic enzyme that is considered an aid to digestion and is used by the pharmaceutical industry.
And, because of its high alkalinity it has been mentioned as being beneficial to persons wishing to quit smoking. Dried figs were first sold in a commercially manufactured cookie in 1892. |
