Contact SupplierFicus carica is an Asian species of flowering plants in the mulberry family, known as the common fig. It is the source of the fruit also called the fig, and as such is an important crop in those areas where it is grown commercially.Figs rank among the earliest fruits grown by man, predating even pomegranates and grains. In 2006, Israeli archaeologists discovered ancient figs in an 11,000-year-old house in the old city of Jericho. From the Jordan Valley, a variety of figs were grown and disseminated throughout Asia Minor. A few of these varieties are native to the Indian subcontinent, including the cluster fig.
