Bananas Are Berries, Strawberries Aren’t

“Fun fact you probably won’t believe at first… Bananas are technically berries —

but strawberries aren’t. Yep. Botanically speaking, bananas qualify

as berries because their seeds are on the inside and they grow from a single flower with

one ovary. Strawberries, on the other hand? Those little dots on the outside are

actually the seeds, which means strawberries don’t meet the scientific definition of a berry at all.

So the next time someone tells you strawberries are the most obvious berry…

you can politely ruin their day with science.”
