\"Ripened<\/a><\/p>\n

By Jeff Cox<\/strong><\/p>\n

How lucky we are to live in this region\u2019s Mediterranean climate \u2014 because we can eat fresh, tree-ripened figs!<\/p>\n

Folks who live outside of (our region) may have never tasted a fig pulled right off the tree. A tree-ripened fig is sweet and fruity, luscious, intriguingly flavored, and pure joy on the palate.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how you can spot a tree-ripe fig. Unripe figs may color up but they\u2019re not quite ripe yet. They stand out from the branch on stiff peduncles \u2014 the bit of wood that attaches the fruit to the branch. When the fig is truly tree-ripe, that peduncle softens and the fig hangs loosely from the branch. That\u2019s the signal \u2014 and then the race is on \u2014 between the human fig aficionado and the little Argentine ants that have turned our state into a giant ant colony \u2014 to see who can harvest them first. (They) love figs as much as we do. \u00a0Maybe more.<\/p>\n

Figs are native to the Levant (the nations of Cyprus, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, and Turkey) and have been cultivated for about 11,000 years, making them one of the first crops when agriculture was developed. An early farmer would certainly have loved the fact that they dry easily and store that way for months, providing energy and food during lean winters<\/p>\n

For many people, the Black Mission variety, first planted in California at Mission San Diego in 1769, sets the standard for quality. Lovers of yellow figs praise Calimyrna figs, whose amber flesh is sweet and nutty.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve driven around Fresno on Highway 99, you may have seen acres of fig trees with paper bags attached to them. The bags cover the fruits to prevent over-pollination and subsequent split fruit.<\/p>\n

While most figs don\u2019t need pollination to develop, Calimyrna figs do. Of the thousands of cuttings of Turkish Smyrna figs brought to California in the 1880s, not one bore fruit. It was discovered that a tiny fig wasp must pollinate the Turkish figs, and so the wasps were imported to California and now work those paper bag fig orchards producing Calimyrnas.<\/p>\n

Calimyrna is a name combining \u201cCalifornia\u201d and \u201cSmyrna.\u201d The variety itself, however, is not one produced through a breeding program, but it is from one of the cuttings brought to California in the latter part of the 19th century. It is identical to the Lob Injir variety (a sub-variety of Smyrna) that has been grown in Turkey for many centuries and is considered by many to be the world\u2019s tastiest fig.\u00a0Figs are nutritious, with sugar, dietary fiber, calcium, potassium and good stores of thiamine, riboflavin and niacin.<\/p>\n
