Fig season is here! I pretty much wait all year for fig season to hit. They are one of my favourite fruits, especially when they are fresh. Dried ones just never compare to the real mccoy. If you have ever noticed what a fig looks like, it is exactly what is is good for. Like many of mother natures gifts the look of the fruit or vegetable can tell you how it can be used. Walnuts are a good example they look like a brain, and have also been proven to help brain function. Figs look like the female organs which is a good indication of what it can help heal. Eat figs regularly to reduce your risk of breast cancer and help with menopausal symptoms.
This is a simple recipe for spring, where I am it is still quite cold so this is a nice combination of warming winter foods and cool summer fruits.
