How did the banana become a berry? You might not have known it’s a berry.
It meets all the prerequisites. Some fruits are berries. They need three qualities to be berries. First, they have a trio of distinct fleshy layers (the outer and middle endocarp). Second, they must have an innermost endocarp that contains seeds. Third, berries come from flowers with a single ovary.
You might be surprised at other berries. Avocados, eggplants, grapes, guava, kiwis, papayas, peppers, pomegrantes and tomatoes are berries.
What isn’t a berry? Well, apricots, cherries, dates, nectarines, peaches, and plums are drupes. They are simple fruits that have a hard endocarp with one seed or pit.
Apples, pears, and quince are pomes. They have small seeds and a tough skin.
Blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries are not berries and they aren’t fruit. They are aggregate fruits since they grow from multiple ovaries of the same flower.
Half the greens growing on the ground are quite edible and delicious. Love to eat Dandelion flowers, Plantain weed, Chichiquelite, Good King Henry, Chicory flowers, and Linden leaves.
I did not know a lot of those things.
Eggplant is a berry ? I would have never guessed that in a million years !
Funny that Apples are in the family of Pomes , because in French the word Apple is the word Pomme
