Well I really dont know about it...but maybe you can try wearing one. If one seems too skimpy, you could make an apron of fig leaves and wear it around the house.
The true object of this post is not about whether fig leaves can be fashion statements or adequate cover but to talk about the delicious Fig fruits and their peculiarity. While shopping I found some fresh fruits and decided to floor wifey AND the sweet dames here at Sulls by making her/them a delicious fig smoothie.
Figs...anjeer in Hindi and Atthi in Tamil are bell-shaped, with a wide, flat bottom narrowing to a pointed top. When the fruit ripens, the top may bend, forming a "neck." Figs can be brown, purple, green, yellow or black, and vary in size and can even be striped --the tiger fig. They are often dried for preservation, since the fresh fruits are highly perishable.
There is something interesting about the fig. The fig is commonly thought of as fruit, but it is properly the flower of the fig tree. It is in fact a false fruit or multiple fruit, in which the flowers and seeds grow together to form a single mass..the fig fruit flowers develop inside the fruit and cannot be seen! What is commonly called the "fruit" of a fig is actually a specialized structure or an accessory-fruit, technically called a syconium.
The syconium (fruit) often has a bulbous shape with a small opening (the ostiole) at the outward end that allows access to pollinators. The flowers are pollinated by very small wasps that crawl through the opening in search of a suitable place to lay eggs. Without this pollinator service fig trees cannot reproduce by seed!
Figs belong to a genus known as Ficus and our Indian banian (Ficus bengalensis) and the sacred peepul tree (Ficus religiosa) belong to this genus too.
Figs are a good source of nutrition. The calorie conscious can check it here. You can make great fig smoothies with these delicious fruits or eat them fresh. Here is a recipe...easy and simple.
Ingredients:
Wash and chop 2 ripe figs
1 teaspoon of honey
125g of natural yogurt.
A small scoop of your fav ice cream
(If you were the Sweet and Sexy Roba, you'd use Haagen Dazs)
Blend. You can add ice before blending if you want, and more or less yogurt depending how thick you like yours to be.Sprinkle toasted slivered (and then crumbled) almonds on top if desired, or whatever nuts you might prefer. Voila!
You have a satisfyingly nourishing, refreshing healthy drink. Now go try it instead of trying to imagine peeps covering their genitals with fig leaves!
Amen
