Figs
The common fig tree is well known for its sweet fruit. The fig fruit ranges from a bright green to deep purple exterior, with the inner flesh being a bright red. Figs are thought to have originated in the Middle East, but are now grown throughout the temperate world – including Australia and are in stock now at Harvest Markets Booval.
