Where do figs originate from?
Some may say the Garden of Eden given Adam and Eve’s choice of the fig leaf as an article of clothing. But it’s more certain that figs were native to Turkey and were introduced to the New World when the Spanish brought them to Mexico in the 16th century. Mission figs got their name when Franciscan monks brought these dark purple figs to their San Diego-area missions in the late 18th century. Today in the United States, most of our figs are grown in California and in other warm climates including Texas, Georgia and Alabama.
