Its not just about getting pesticides and junk off, but also about getting the tree's own sap off. The sap from the fig tree is latexy and surprisingly irritating (your lips will burn) and can ruin otherwise delicious figs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22952006.post-80341595788219379072007-09-25T13:04:00.000+02:002007-09-25T13:04:00.000+02:00That looks incredible.
