In order not to lose at the starting line, the fruits have begun to compete from the flowers, but for some low-key fruits, they are playing their own small calculations. Like a fig, is it really as flower-free as its name suggests? If you really think it's a fruit without flowers, then you're really wrong!
In fact, the fig has flowers, it is a typical seemingly flowerless but flowery plant, but it has chosen a relatively low-key way to prove its existence.
In order to avoid mosquito bites, figs choose to hide their small and sweet flowers in a huge flower tray, in which the male and female flowers undergo flowering, pollination, and fruiting, and the whole process is solved internally, so low-key that people think that it has no flowers.
Legend has it that figs are a "killer"!
I remember a saying that said, "In every delicious fig, there is a dead wasp." ”
The pollination method of the fig is completely different from other plants, in fact, there is a small hole in the bottom of its flower holder, which emits its unique aroma and attracts bees into the fig to complete pollination.
When the female and male bees have finished pollinating, the male summit helps the female bees to enlarge the small holes in the figs to let the female bees leave, and after the females leave, the male bees die in the figs. Within forty-eight hours of the female leaving, the next newly blooming male fig will be found to lay eggs and a new cycle begins. If the female bee uses the small hole in the fig tray to enter the female fig, the female will not be able to lay eggs and will eventually starve to death. But it eventually carried pollen into it to complete pollination, and as the fig matured, the dead bee slowly evolved into other substances such as amino acids, staying in the fig forever as a nutrient.
Figs have a very large edible and medicinal value, it is rich in sugars, proteins, amino acids, minerals, vitamins, pectin and other nutrients, its nutritional value is relatively high, and figs can adsorb harmful substances in the intestine, can effectively promote the discharge of toxic substances from the body, while increasing the body's resistance, figs can also appetize to help digestion, in addition, women eat figs, can also effectively improve the skin condition, play a role in lubricating the skin, so in life if there are conditions, You can eat some figs in moderation, it is very beneficial to our body.
Finally, Xiaobian would like to say that although this thing is good, it should be avoided in excess, and everything can be measured, and the careful thing will be reversed!
