Figs maybe the legendary fruit of Adam and Eve, yet I know figs are beneficial to our bodies, especially the fresh figs. Why not bake a fig custard to pamper yourself?
When wandering on the street, I met a peddler who was selling figs—green fruits with spinous tops. I’d never seen fresh figs before, so I decided to buy some. The peddler told me to pick soft ones for they were much sweeter, and I said that I wanted hard ones to bake cakes. He was so weired that he didn’t think they could be baked for eating.
It was studied that the figs were the fruits that Adam and Eve ate. After eating them, they felt they couldn’t be seen as naked so they took the foliages of the figs as clothes. Would the figs be the legendary forbidden fruit? I made cakes with them!
Figs are sweet with a dense flavor, I cut them into slices, and the green and read color on them are very beautiful, and figs are healthy for people who usually don’t want to eat, and have indigestion and a sore throat.
