Figs are not very common in Thailand, but widely grown at Discovery Garden Nong Khai. Hans Fritschi shows how easy it is to propagate fig plants. He uses sweet figs to prepare his version of a tropical Muesli, consisting of local products only. The original Muesli was invented by Maximilian Bircher-Benner, a Swiss physician (1867 – 1939). It contained oats, apples, nuts, honey and lemon.
