JUST IN: Strawberries Are Not Berries, Yet Avocados and Watermelon Are While we've tended to define berries as any small edible fruit, the official definition of a berry is a fleshy fruit produced from a single ovary.  By this definition, oranges, kumquats, blueberries, and even tomatoes can be considered part of the berry family. Strawberries, on the other hand, are known as accessory fruits, which makes it sound like they did something wrong. They're just trying to exist, man! In these fruits, the surrounding flesh around the seed isn't derived from the fruit's ovaries but from the receptacle in which the ovaries are found.

fruit Usage To most of us, a fruit is a plant part that is eaten as a dessert or snack because it is sweet, but to someone who studies botany a fruit is a mature ovary of a plant, and as such it may or may not taste sweet. All species of flowering plants produce fruits that contain seeds.A peach, for example, contains a pit that can grow into a new peach tree, while the seeds known as peas can grow into another pea vine. To a botanist, apples, peaches, peppers, tomatoes, pea pods, cucumbers, and winged maple seeds are all fruits.A vegetable is simply part of a plant that is grown primarily for food. peach, for example, contains a pit that can grow into a new peach tree, while the seeds known as peas can grow into another pea vine.

Edible fruits, in particular, have propagated with the movements of humans and animals in a symbiotic relationship as a means for seed dispersal and nutrition; in fact, humans and many animals have become dependent on fruits as a source of food. Accordingly, fruits account for a substantial fraction of the world's agricultural ou
