I recently heard that the center of a fig is actually a dead wasp. That seemed unlikely, but I googled it. Turns out, it’s not true. But it’s closer to being true than you might expect.
I was a little worried about the crunchiness, but have been reassured it’s indeed just seeds.

I was told as a child that the crunch was dead ants. Why any adult would ruin fig newtons for a kid is beyond me.

I love figs so much, I’d still eat them even if they were full of wasps.
