In simple terms, figs are inverted blossoms that are not actually fruits.
Fig trees do not blossom in the same way that apples and peaches do.
Their blooms bloom within the pear-shaped pod, which grows into the fruit we eat later.
Each bloom produces a single, one-seeded, hard-shelled fruit called an achene, which gives the fig its characteristic crunch, and the fig is made up of many achenes.
As a result, when we eat a fig, we are essentially eating several fruits at once.
