Melissa's nutra dried figs, black mission, 9-ounce unit (pack of 6) are one of the earliest fruits cultivated. As early as 2900 B.C., in early Sumerian times, the medical use of figs was already being stressed. Every inhabitant of Athens was a “philosykos,” literally translated, “a friend of the fig.” Early Olympic athletes were given figs as a training food and figs were given as laurels to the winners of the first Olympics as a “medal.”Although considered a fruit, the fig is actually a flower inverted into itself. The seeds are the real fruit in figs. Native to areas from Asiatic Turkey to northern India, figs spread to all the countries around the Mediterranean. The Spaniards brought figs to the Americas in the early 16th century. The missionary fathers brought them to California… “Mission Fig” gets its name from this history. The Smyrna fig was imported from Turkey to California in 1882. It was given the name of Calimyrna in honor of the grower’s home.
