Think of a berry, quick!!
Did this pop into your head?
Wrong! Strawberries are actually not berries. By technical definition, a berry is a fleshy fruit produced from a single seed. The strawberry, however has its dry, yellow "seeds" on the outside (each of which is actually considered a separate fruit). True berries, such as blueberries and cranberries have seeds inside.
Now, here's a picture of a true berry:What?... A banana? Yes! The banana fruit is a berry for the same reason strawberries are not.
