Fig Tree: Rich in Benefits and History
The existence of the fig tree as an edible fruit-producing plant has been thoroughly documented in ancient literature from multiple scientific perspectives, therefore it may not be an exaggeration to say that it is one of the oldest trees on Earth.
This fig tree, which produces fruit high in fiber, is frequently referred to by followers of numerous world religions and beliefs in ancient literature under various names.
The word fig, first recorded in English in the 13th century, derives from (Old) French figue, itself from Occitan (Provençal) figa, from Romance fica, from Classical Latin ficus (fig or fig-tree). Italian has fico, directly derived from Latin ficus. The name of the caprifig, Ficus caprificus Risso, is derived both from Latin capro (billygoat) and English fig.

In addition, my research on the Indonesian Wikipedia explains the following:
Tin or Ara (Ficus carica L.) is a kind of edible fruit - producing plant originating from West Asia. The fruit has the same name. The name "Tin" is taken from Arabic, also known as "Ara" (fig/ fig tree) whereas in English it is called fig (common fig; "common fig tree"), actually still includes relatives of the banyan tree from the genus the same, namely Ficus.
Translation into Indonesian:
Tin atau Ara (Ficus carica L.) adalah sejenis tumbuhan penghasil buah-buahan yang dapat dimakan dan berasal dari Asia Barat. Buahnya bernama sama. Nama "Tin" diambil dari bahasa Arab, juga dikenal dengan nama "Ara" (buah ara/ pohon ara) sedangkan dalam bahasa Inggris disebut fig (common fig; "pohon ara umum"), sebenarnya masih termasuk kerabat pohon beringin dari dari genus yang sama, yaitu Ficus.

This fig fruit is not only edible but can also be a major component of jam in the culinary world. Figs are sometimes even consumed daily as a side dish (vegetable).
These are the photos of the fig tree that I have described above. Al-Hikmah Cunda Mosque in Lhokseumawe City - Aceh has this tree in its mosque yard.

I can use this one to my daughter. She's experiencing constipation. She needs lots of fibers.
@missleray, when referring to one of the literature in my post, ideally so!
However, I suggest consulting further with other health professionals.
