Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What is the first fruit domesticated as an edible crop?"
...One of the first domesticated fruit crops is the fig. A number of different edible fig varieties were originally cultivated in southern Arabia and across the Mediterranean regions over 6,000 years ago. Fresh and dried figs have long been a staple in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine.
