Transplanted from the Mediterranean, Adriatic figs are actually the most commonly known green figs. They have a pale green to pale yellow skin and a bright pink to brilliant red flesh. Besides, their super sweet nature means they work particularly well as a simple fruit dessert all on their own. Now, if you’re hoping to add more antioxidants to your diet, you can’t go wrong with figs. According to one study in 2005, dried figs have superior quality antioxidants, which in turn are thought to reduce cell-damaging free radicals in the body.
