Ficus carica, otherwise known as figs, originates
from western Asia Minor.
It is widely believed that the forbidden fruit mentioned in religious
texts was not an apple but a
fig.
Actually, fig has been one of the first fruits that humankind
had tasted. Usage of figs had been recorded even in the Sumerian
tablets.
Since figs are very rich in
potassium, iron, fiber and plant
calcium they have been used for medicinal purposes as a
diuretic and laxative.
A fig tree can live for 100 years and grow up to 30 meters
tall. Domestic trees, however, are pruned periodically and
their heights are kept around 4,5 meters tall in order to
increase the harvest efficiency.
Naturally grown figs are harvested and
laid on racks for sun exposure. They are sorted according
to their sizes, washed with running warm water, and stored
under hygienic conditions. All the stages of processing are
executed under strict conditions according to the methods
described in ISO and
HACCP system certificates.
In order to ensure the safety of the product, in advance of
factory processing, figs are fumigated, washed and treated
under UV light. After all the processes finished, figs are
named according to their shapes:
Layer, Protoben, Pulled, Lerida, Garland, Baglama, Locuum, Macaroni, Cukulata,
and Umbrella.
