We’ve had a fig tree in our yard since the early 1960s. Each year I look forward to fresh ripe figs for breakfast!
Just remember people, if you saw how your processed foods were made, you'd become a very healthy eater. But you already knew that, you just choose to ignore it.
The female wasp does get out because these trees are cross-pollinated; they aren't self-pollinated thanks to the wasp. She then lays her eggs in different figs from different trees. The male wasps are born first and fertilize their sisters before they even hatch. The males die inside the figs—they don’t even have wings. The females are then born already pregnant and repeat the cycle. However, the figs we eat are capable of parthenocarpy, meaning they can develop into fruit without fertilization, and therefore without seeds. (just like the bananas we eat)
I needed to hear this. Thank you.
Yo Andy! I got a request for a food for you to make. They’re called “Sarmale”. It’s a traditional Romanian style of cabbage rolls, and can be made with vine leaves too! I’m sure you can find a way to make em.
Big Fig Wasp
What about the eggs??
That lie is now a figment of your imagination.
Figs are safe to eat as long as you don’t see a donkey eating one
On behalf of the family of Figs, we thank you for standing up for us!
We in Islam have entire chapter named after it soo it's really nice to see people put respect to it
