Fig:
Iranian fig fruits are bell-shaped, with a
wide, flat bottom narrowing to a pointed
top. When the fruit ripens, the top may
bend, forming a "neck". Figs can be brown,
purple, green, yellow or black, and vary in
size. The skin is slightly wrinkled and
leathery. They are often dried for
preservation, since the fresh fruits are
highly perishable. The fig flowers develop
inside the fruit and cannot be seen.
