## Explainer》Figs are called “flowerless,” yet inside each one lies an entire garden of flowers! What exactly are we eating?

Drawing on research from the Ministry of Agriculture and universities, this article explains that although figs are called “flowerless,” they actually have a hidden syconium inside the receptacle. It clarifies that the edible part is the fleshy receptacle, while the true fruits are the achenes inside, and explains that common varieties in Taiwan can ripen without pollination by fig wasps, debunking online rumors.

Facts:
- The fig's scientific name is Ficus carica. It belongs to the genus Ficus in the mulberry family, and its most distinctive feature is a special structure called a “syconium.”
- The fig's flowers grow inside an enlarged, hollow receptacle, forming a pouch-like space with many tiny flowers growing densely along its inner wall.
- The edible parts of a fig mainly include the fleshy receptacle and the floral tissues within it.
- The fig's pistils are threadlike and, after pollination, can form many tiny “achenes,” which are the individual fruits in botanical terms.
- Most commonly cultivated figs in Taiwan are of the “common type,” which can develop and ripen without pollination, a process known as “parthenocarpy.”
- Based on their floral characteristics and pollination requirements, figs can be divided into types such as Caprifig, Smyrna, San Pedro and Common.
- For fig types that require insect pollination, the “ostiole” at the end of the receptacle farthest from the stem is an important passage through which pollinating fig wasps enter the inflorescence.
