Boo! Do ghost wasps haunt your figs? To celebrate Halloween, learn about the “haunted” process of fig pollination! Fig pollination can be a scary process. Here’s the breakdown: • The minuscule fig wasp loses its wings as it enters the fig. • In the pitch-black darkness of the fig, the wasp pollinates and reproduces. • The fig creates an enzyme that digests the wasp, so don’t worry - your fig treats do NOT have dead wasps in them! Figs may sound freaky, but give them a chance - they are delicious in salads, homemade energy bars, or dehydrated and eaten as a snack. Fresh figs taste like berries and have a honey-like flavor to them. Despite their scary origins, they are quite sweet! Have you tried figs? Would you?
