When I was a child, many people in the village planted fig trees in front of their homes, and at that time I didn't know them, but I just listened to the adults talk about figs, although I was curious, but it was just an inconspicuous green plant, not very surprising. In the summer, the figs hung small green fruits, and only then did they know that the figs would bear fruit.
Wait until autumn, the fruit is finally ripe, a small one, the outside appears green, dark or shallow, with small spots, some of the fruit skin with a faint red, with a finger to press gently, soft and hard.
Get a few figs, take it home with joy, wash the skin, the linear flesh is milky white, the juice is not much, very tight taste, but the fruit is fluffy, there are seeds, very small and small, bite, a little sweet, but the juice is a little sticky, very uncomfortable slippery.
It didn't seem to be particularly delicious, and in the next few years, I didn't care much about seeing the figs planted in front of other people's homes.
In the season when dried fruits are popular, the dried fruits made of various fruits are dazzling, and it seems that as long as the fruits can be dried and dried, it is convenient to eat and easy to store.
Dried figs are inadvertently seen under the premise of not eating figs for many years, the price is not cheap, but the dried figs are very thick and have a weight in the hand. The appearance is not unusual, it looks wrinkled, and the flesh inside can be clearly seen from the place of the opening.
The seeds are wrapped in syrup, crystal clear, bite, the skin is hard, but the flesh inside is very soft, very sweet, and it is just right to eat with tea. It is very tough to eat, and it is not appropriate to feel that the teeth are not good.
When I went to Weihai, Shandong Province, this autumn, I ate the local specialty figs, which look the same as what I saw when I was a child, but the flesh inside is very different. It was red, very bright, very beautiful, sweet and nourishing, and after eating and clearing the mouth, but there was a very sweet sweetness in the mouth.
When I bought it, the boss said that it could be eaten with the skin, and it was indeed possible, because the skin was very soft, and it was half of the bite, bright red and white, and green in white, which was beautiful and delicious.
Fig and fruit, seemingly unremarkable, a small flesh not only contains sweetness, but also a very good Chinese medicine, treatment of sore throat and clear lungs, dry cough indigestion, diarrhea and so on. It is usually used to boil water to drink, especially for throat discomfort and has a good improvement effect.
