Does anyone know for sure!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Yes!.

Both are botanically berries!.


"Berries" are just a subset of Fruits!.

They are both Fruits and Berries!. (Same thing)

(Ignore most of these people, they are just giving you their opinions!. They obviously don't know the actual answer)

OTHERS - Just because you don't think of them as berries, doesn't mean they are not!.

Most people think a tomato is a vegetable, but that doesn't stop it from actually being a fruit!. AND a berry!

True berries are a simple fruit having seeds and pulp produced from a single ovary!. Both Banana AND tomato are in this group!. (Though some say that the Banana is a Epigynous fruit, meaning they might take it out of the berry group, and it will be a "False berry")

Thank you snarf!.

I guess I take science a little too seriously sometimes!. Don't like when people just answer a question with no knowledge of the subject!.

(Trivia - Blueberries and Cranberries are NOT berries!. But Oranges and Lemons technically are types of modified berries! The avacado is also in the berry group!.)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I heard tomatoes were berries but I don't know about bananas!.

and Devil, Angel of my heart!. We all know tomatoes and bananas are fruit, but that doesn't mean they're not berries, because berries are fruit too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
