CALIMYRNA FIGS

So succulent - they ripen and partially dry on the tree for fullest honey-like flavor.  More Potassium than bananas, and full of chewy sweetness.

Item #UNC40160 - $10.99 per pound

FACTS:  Calimyrna (in Turkey, called Sari Lop or Lop Incir).  Large: skin light yellow-green to golden yellow; pulp amber to light strawberry; fresh flavor good, very sweet; the standard of excellence for whole dried figs.  Best-known of Smyrna figs, which require caprification (pollination by fig wasps, which live only in dry, inedible wild figs, called capri-figs) to bear fruit.  Grown in Meander (Menderes) Valley of Turkey for centuries; introduced to California in 1880.  First successful crop in 1899.  Accounts for 50% of the fresh fig crop and 38% of the dried.
