This is a cluster on my "white" fig tree. The variety was named by my neighbor who started me off with a cutting. He brought the original over from Greece, wrapped in a blanket. These are just "golf-ball" sized, now.

They are ready to eat when the stem droops -- and the skin is soft.

Trois is right. Hold the stem -- bite the end and and just munch it in. They are delicious.

They are also a good supply of calcium.

Be well -- and you will be, if you eat them
