Description

The Angel Cake fig is a medium-sized fig with a distinct berry flavor. It features a soft, dark purple skin and a rich, red interior that is sweet and juicy. The fig's closed eye helps prevent souring, making it an excellent choice for humid climates. Its flavor profile is complex, with a strong berry essence that makes it a favorite among fig enthusiasts.

Introduced by Sacred Origin, Angel Cake quickly gained popularity due to its exceptional flavor and reliability. The variety is well-suited for California's climate and has been noted for its prolific fruit production.
