Hmadi (9/10/21)

[Shaft]

Hmadi. Described by Grasovsky and Weitz (1932) as a small Palestinian fig, spherical, with a short, curved neck and medium stalk; color yellowish green; ribs purplish; eye open, with bright-red or purple scales; pulp red; flavor subacid. Very much relished by the fellaheen.

Hmadi means "Acidic" in Arabic, owing to its tart bite.
