Sal Taddeo is a man that is passionate about business. He also has a strong work ethic and a healthy curiosity. That is what has led him to get involved in multiple business ventures, including opening a company that grows and sells fig trees.

Sallee Figs is a company that grows 100’s of different varieties of exotic rare fig trees, ones that can be shipped throughout the United States, or bought locally. These fruit-producing trees are grown in large containers like wine barrels. The trees are known to grow between 10 and even 30 feet tall. Sallee Figs uses container planting in order to keep the plants mobile, necessary when temperatures drop to below 32 degrees, which can threaten the tree’s well-being if it is not brought inside.

Figs are a nutritious and delicious fruit that can be eaten right off of the tree, or baked into some delicious treats. Some interesting facts about figs is that the trees that produce them have no blossoms on their branches. The blossoms are inside the fig fruit itself. In fact, it is the tiny flowers within the fruit that make the crunchy seeds within, the ones that give the fig its trademark texture.

Figs are also used in a number of different recipes as healthy alternatives to typical foods. For instance, a fig puree is often used to replace unhealthy fats in a number of baked goods. Many do not know that in the United States, California produces 100% of the nations dried figs, and 98% of the fresh ones! In America, it was the Spanish that introduced the fig tree, as priests planted the fig trees in California.

Figs are also known for their dense nutritional value. In fact, a half-cup of figs contains the same amount of calcium as drinking a half-cup of milk.

Sal Taddeo created Sallee Figs to help share his love of the fruit with others. He does not just enjoy the taste of figs, but also the history, and the nutritional value. Mr. Taddeo also enjoys his time tending to the fig trees, as it allows him to get in touch with nature and take a moment to enjoy the simple things.
