Is banana a berry or is it there just for scale?

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 63 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

yup https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berry_(botany)

a berry is a fleshy fruit without a stone (pit) produced from a single flower containing one ovary. Berries so defined include grapes, currants, and tomatoes, as well as cucumbers, eggplants (aubergines) and bananas, but exclude certain fruits that meet the culinary definition of berries, such as strawberries and raspberries.

Sounds to me like we need a new definition for berry.
