Common Name: Fig
Botanical Name: Ficus carica
Ficus carica, known as the Common Fig, is a tree that produces a unique fruit deemed both delicious and nutrient-rich.
Medicinally, figs are used for their high fiber content, which helps with digestion, and for their wealth of vitamins and minerals that boost overall health.
In beauty, fig extract is often included in products for its hydrating properties that help maintain a smooth and supple skin texture.
An interesting fact about figs is that they have a mutualistic relationship with a specific wasp species, which is essential for the natural pollination of most commercial fig species.
