The “Forbidden Fruit”

Dear All,

As mentioned before we have included more figs in our mix as the demand for these flowers are quite high. Yes, you read correctly flowers!. A fig is actually not a fruit but a flower inverted into itself and one of the oldest “fruits” known to man. It is thought to have originated from Asia minor and its use has been recorded as far back as 2500 B.C.

Furthermore figs have been and are still used as a sweetener in cooking both in North Africa and the Middle East as it is a great substitute for sugar.

Figs are even believed, by some scholars, to have been the forbidden fruit picked by Eve in the Bible.

Unfortunately the fig season is running to a close, and we will be replacing figs with another wonderful fruit soon so enjoy them while you can.

Have a Fruitful week!
