Berries or fruit?

[Korichi]

I’d say fruit! My favourites are apples, mangoes, peaches, strawberries and cherries!

 

[cornimer]

I do like both (aren't berries fruits though?) but blueberries are my favourite fruit/berry so I voted for berries!

 

[Mr_Persona]

l like both but l voted fruit since that's what l eat the most.

I generally like fruit better than berries. Certain berries can be too tart for me and I usually prefer lighter flavors like plums, nectarines, and pears.

I love fruit AND berries, so both for me! My dream is to one day try every fruit and berry that the world has to offer (including the mysterious and elusive paw-paw!) The only fruit I absolutely hate is pineapple because it tastes to me like bile.

Can somebody explain to me why berries aren't considered fruit? D:

 

[IonicKarma]

I love them both! Watermelon is my favorite fruit of all time but I also really like oranges, bananas, strawberries, and grapes. Kiwis are also really nice but I barely can ever find them, peaches are pretty nice too.

I don't really have an opinion tbh. I don't like a lot of berries, but I don't like too many fruits either.

Favorites would be pineapple, peaches, nectarines, grapes, and that's pretty much it.

I’m pretty sure OP meant non-berry fruits in their title. It gets even crazier if you take that post to mean botanical berries

I love both! Blueberries are probably my favorite food though so maybe berries a little more.

Ah, okay. Haha. I felt like I was in the twilight zone for a minute. Like, what lie have I been living?

How are berries classified in botanical terms?

How are berries classified in botanical terms?

Any (non-leathery-skinned) fruit that has a lot of seeds on the inside; that’s why the fruits I mentioned on the first are berries botanically while strawberries are NOT (since their seeds are on the outside).

While I do like both, I like how small and easy berries are to eat. No peeling, no cutting, still gott wash, but very minimal to no prep required. Just eat.

 

[visibleghost]

i like both. fresh berries are quite expensive so i don't eat them very often, especially not during winter or fall (or spring, lol). i eat fruit pretty much every single day.

 

[Antonio]

Fun fact: pineapples, bananas and pumpkins are berries, while strawberries are NOT berries. Have fun with that knowledge

my whole life has been a lie

Jokes aside, i can eat almost every fruit but i can barely stomach veggies.

I'm astonished reading this thread because I genuinely didn't know that pineapples and bananas are berries. My mind is freaking blown. I knew that tomatoes were a sketchy thing and they could fit in multiple different categories but I definitely didn't know this about other things. I agree with the above commenter who said their whole life has been a lie

I voted for berries.

Fruit
Papaya > Cherries > Mango

It’s all based on botany: any fruit with a bunch of seeds on the inside is a berry. It’s the same driving principle for the argument on whether tomatoes are fruits or vegetables (botanically it’s a fruit but culinarily it is a vegetable).

By that definition a lot of fruits are categorizes as berries.... Thanks for the fun fact!

 

[Mairmalade]

Berries because apparently that's what bananas are, and I love them with peanut butter.

Never thought to search about fruits v.s. berries - interesting!

I like it all. I don't really discriminate when it comes to fruits, berries, veggies. Meat is what I'm picky about.

 

[Blink.]

I like both? Like others have said, pineapples and bananas are berries. Can't discriminate now <:
