The figs are sort of Brownish colour, taking the seed is dead easy, all you need is a fresh fig you realy liked (Not the dried sort) and scrape some of the pulp into a tea strainer (fine mesh) rinse round under a tap of cold water with the finger rubbing them against the seive until clean, and then knock them out onto a bit of polythene sheeting to dry for a couple of days, then sow in fine compost,-takes about 6 to 10 days to germinate.

I have done the same with strawberry seeds in the past also.

Goji Berries (I spelt it wrong the first time) are supposed to be the new wonder food of the century, from tibet where the locals eat them and supposidly live longer and healthier..
They are also calling them the new fruit Viagra over here, as they are supposed to do wonders for your libido too, although having said that I havnt noticed any difference in that respect and I have eat quite a lot of them already, :wink: .

The main reason people are buying them is because they contain 500 times more vitamin C than any other know fruit or substance, the dried form is a sort of orangy red look a bit like dried sultanas, and contain fine seeds, they are slightly sweet in flavour, and very expensive to buy.
In the Uk they are about £3.99 for 125 grams.
