The leaves of the tree are the identifying feature, they are about 4 inches long and have 3 or 5 lobes. The species name carica means having papaya-like leaves. The fruit, which is called anjeer, may be top-shaped, or pear-shaped, 1 to 4 in long, and varies in color from yellowish-green to coppery, bronze, or dark-purple.Well loved for their sweet, mild flavor fruit and multiple uses and fig are great source of calcium.
