minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•16 days agoThat’s interesting. It’s like how peanuts are legumes and not nuts. But I feel like that makes sense because of the pods.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•16 days agoYeah 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

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•15 days agoThese 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.
