Strawberries aren't berries either.![](https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/5d45c525-3097-400a-bbd6-73d9a4ded0f7.png)
At what point do we say that science is wrong about berries
You can’t look at me with a straight face and say a banana is a berry.
Look at the whole fruit bundle before they break it apart for shipping. You can't tell me it's NOT a berry.
Just gotta accept that we have Berry[culinary] and Berry[botanical] and these variants are unstated and must be inferred from context.
Technically, a banana is the whole big-ass thing that grows on the tree. What you know as a banana is what is called a finger of a banana.
A banana is a berry 😑
