In the Bible’s Eden, Adam and Eve covered themselves with fig tree leaves and ancient legends tell of how fig tree branches helped Odysseus cope with a terrible vortex of water. The twin sons Romulus and Remus, who founded Rome, were again saved from drowning in the Tiber River by a fig tree, and according to the legend of the Indian Kuttia Kondhi people, the goddess Nirantali created the first human tongues from the fluttering leaves of the fig tree. In ancient Egypt, fig trees led Pharaohs to the other side.

The fig fruit is very nutritious, a real superfood, full of vitamin B6, potassium, calcium, iron and fiber.
