Ever looked at a delicious fruit salad and thought about how we name things? It turns out, the world of botany has some pretty wild surprises that can turn our everyday understanding of fruits completely on its head.</p> <p>So, here&rsquo;s a fun one: <strong>Did you know that, botanically speaking, a strawberry isn&rsquo;t actually a berry? But a banana is?</strong> Mind-blowing, right?</p> <p>When we think of berries, we usually picture something small, juicy, and probably red or blue, like blueberries or raspberries. And strawberries totally fit that mental image! But from a scientist&rsquo;s perspective, a true berry has to develop from a single flower with one ovary, and typically has several seeds inside. Think about a grape – it&rsquo;s a perfect example.</p>
