More specifically, http://www.crfg.org/pubs/ff/fig.html covers FIGs
in great detail. Back up one level, and you've got at your fingertips
a list of Fruit Facts on 34 different types of fruit. Note that these
lean towards ones that grow best in the warmer climate zones (after
all, this is California RFG). None the less, this is a great resource.
