From time to time I buy dried figs, apricots, plums etc from Costco. Next time I'll be sure to check haha


If you do find a wasp, then it's a good sign you're getting quality fruit. Figs are dependent on fig wasps to pollinate so if your fig doesn't have one it was either sprayed with a specific hormone to induce fruiting or is of a variety specifically bred to be self-fertile


> variety specifically bred to be self-fertile

What does this have to do with some sense of quality? There are a myriad of fruits and vegetables that are bred for things that we consume.
