    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

        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.
