Berry Breakdown

Berry Breakdown

Did you know that bananas are berries, but strawberries are not? While most consider berries small fruits that can be picked off plants, the scientific classification is more complex. Botanists consider strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries a “false fruit.” This is because the scientific definition of berries stems from a single flower with one ovary and typically has several seeds. However, strawberries are from a single flower with more than one ovary, making them an aggregate fruit. Other unusual examples that fall under the botanical definition of berries include grapes, oranges, tomatoes, avocados, and eggplants.
