In botanical terms, bananas are berries. Strawberries are not.
A true berry, like a banana, develops from a single ovary and contains seeds embedded in the flesh.
Strawberries, on the other hand, form from a flower with multiple ovaries, making them aggregate fruits.
This means each of a strawberry's roughly 200 tiny surface seeds is its own separate fruit.
In a world of culinary confusion, the botanical definition shows how nature plays by different rules.
