Meh. Figs are just digested wasps anyway
I remember hearing about a parasitic wasp in a fig but is it all figs? I like fig but I don't often buy it, this information inventivises me not to buy fig...
To my understanding, they don't all contain wasps, and even the types that do have the wasp thing, any trace of a wasp will be long destroyed before the fruit is ready anyway
Thank you for the input, appreciate it! I'm glad I had 3 very helpful response (yours being one of the 3 helpful ones!). I had assumed the wasp would still be there, didn't realise it'll be absorbed as part of the life cycle
