I hadn't ever had fresh figs until I moved to the Sacramento area of California. Fig trees grow well in that area. Figs are so fragile that they can't be sold fresh very easily so you have to mash them up and make things like Fig Newtons. Fresh Figs are sure good, but they have an interesting gooey (sp?) texture.

I should have known they were a bit too juicy for being a dried fruit. I'm surprised you think figs are dried plums. I believe you meant prunes. ;) Those devious dates.

They grow on date palm trees. Wikipedia has a good article on them, but I knew where they came from before reading there, as they grow some date palms in Yuma, AZ, which was one of my mission areas. I'm surprised you didn't know that figs were dried plums. I thought everyone knew that. ;) Dates come from… dates. They grow on date palm trees.
