Yeah and they grow in the ground too.

A distinction that I find more entertaining than the fruit/veggie one is the berry category.

  • blueberry: not a berry
  • blackberry: nuh-uh
  • Strawberry: you're an accessory fruit
  • banana: yup, totally a berry
  • watermelon: go for it

That's nuts

Who makes these rules? They're so unintuitive.

[–] Shapillon@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

These rules are made by botanists.

A berry is a fleshy fruit without a pit produced by a single flower containing a single ovary.

This definition is different from the colloquial culinary one which refers to anything small, growing on a small plant or bush and without a pit.
