Native to southwestern Asia, the common fig has made its home in various regions across the globe. This hearty shrub, often stretching to the stature of a small tree, thrives chiefly in the Mediterranean's warm embrace, where its cultivation dates back over 6500 years. Its fruits, when consumed, unveil a gentle battle against constipation, easing the passage through the digestive realm. Furthermore, the extracts from its leaves stand as a vanguard, offering antioxidant and anticancer properties. The top spots in its cultivation belong to Turkey, Egypt, Algeria, and Spain. The fruit is called breva in Colombia where it was photographed.
