Fig tree
Fig trees are native to the Mediterranean region and its fruits have been part of the regular diet of the people that for centuries have settled on the shores of the Mediterranean sea.
Drawings representing growing figs trees and fig harvests have been found in Egypt, specifically in the pyramid of Giza (year 4,000-5,000 BC). In the Book of Exodus, they are part of the fruits that the people of Canaan presented to Moses.
Figs were also an essential food for Greek people
