Will You Still Eat Figs After Watching This?…18 month update 🐝 Some Figs Have Dead Wasps Inside Of Them Figs are pollinated by female wasps, and they’re not actually fruits but inverted flowers - so wasps crawl inside, lay eggs and fertilizes the flowers with pollen from other figs. The wasp eggs hatch into larvae and they feed on the interior of the fig before pupating and exiting the fig as adult wasps. I had no hope for my fig seeds but that’s clearly not the truth bc i kept these seeds for two years. and last week i opened my fig seeds to see some of the seeds sprouted. so i planted them in soil. Now it is worth mentioning that not all figs contain wasp larvae, especially those sold in the grocery store because they aren’t pollinated the same way. Even when a fig does contain wasp eggs or larvae, they are so small and microscopic that they are typically digested along with the rest of the fig's flesh when it is eaten. So, while the idea of wasps inside a fig might sound strange or unappetizing, it's actually a natural part of the fig's life cycle and doesn't usually have any impact on the fig's taste or nutritional value.
