just a small correction. there are some species of figs that remain green even when they are ripe

[edit] An awesome tasting fruit

• The fig fruit is actually a false fruit. See fruit for more details. This should be related to in the article. More information would also be appreciated.
• I don't think the "green" kind actually ripens green. It turns yellowish..

• With regard to the fig being a false fruit, interestingly it is the flower of the ficus turned inward on itself.

• Why I reworded the statement that figs are "higher in fiber than any other dried or fresh fruit": USDA data show the following are higher per 100 grams--Persimmon, Japanese, dried; apple, dehydrated; passion fruit, purple, raw; banana powder.

• USDA data I hope someone will add to the table, Nutritional Value per 100 g:

 After Calcium: Copper 0.29 mg
 After Magnesium: Manganese 0.51 mg
 After Vitamin C: Vitamin K 15.6 μg
 Also: Nutrient content averages are not known to 3 or 4 significant figures, so I would round
 at least these numbers in this table: 63.87 to 63.9, 47.92 to 47.9, 0.619 to 0.62, 0.434 to 0.43.
 (See USDA's standard errors for these means.)
 (I am unfamiliar with editing this table.)
