This fig was given to me from a sicilian friend of mine.  He calls it a water fig.  Dont know why, I been told it can be left to shrivel on the tree and contains a whitish sugar.

It has a thick edible yellow skin, yellow flesh, very sweet like honey.

A nice white fig (for Martin...).

Is the word "water" in the name, possibly because it is a "honey" type fig?

or maybe watery = juicy ?

Well whatever it is... it sure looks tasty!

Maybe it grows near the water?  It looks really nice, like small candies you can pop in your mouth and eat a kilo before you noticed.

Looks like one of my Peter's Honey. Taste like water too!

thanks for your interesting comments guys.lol

reason being a water fig its very juicy.  juicy does not mean water.  most unusual texture and taste..love it!

Hmm i was right in post 3.
Darn Italians and Sicilians just a can't keep it simple .
Yeah i can say that so if you no like  - foget about.

that is true martin, but this one I do like, compares well to my favourite black figs
