@@fastlegente3430 they are close to a nut, but they don't have the hard protective shell and husk. So in short strawberries are not nuts but they are similar. They are actually achenes. Sunflower seeds are a well known achene. The ovary wall forms a protective shell and the seed is inside. Just a thin dried fruit wall giving a seed like appearance. Strawberries are aggregate-accessory fruit. Aggregate meaning made up of many small fruit each from a seperate ovary. Accessory meaning flesh that doesn't come from the ovary wall like the true fleshy fruits (berries and drupes) The flesh of strawberries is from the receptacle. This is why the 'seeds' actually tiny individual fruit appear on the outside. This is compared to raspberries and blackberries which are aggregate fruit. But they are drupes a true fleshy fruit. So the seed is inside the little balls of flesh. Because the ovary wall is fleshy in this case.

Strawberries grow on small plants near the ground, rather than on bushes (like blueberries, blackberries, etc.) and the fruit often looks as if it was thrown about the ground."

Strawberries and Blackberries are actually considered Nuts (I guess you know the sesame looking like things on strawberries, they are the actual fruits), the Red and Purple you see is something called "accesorry fruit" (that's when something not originally belonging to the fruit itself comes together with the fruit and can only be found together in nature)
There are wild differences between "culinary" and "botanical" fruits, berries, and vegetables. An aubergine (eggplant) is a culinary vegetable, but a botanical fruit, and more specifically a berry. Raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries *are* all berries, but only in the culinary sense. Not botanically. Botanically, even watermelons and pumpkins are berries, but culinarily a berry is a small, juicy fruit with no large pits.

@@eigrontopediax I was always told that pineapple was a bunch of fused together berries (and English is weird for not calling it ananas). Unsure what the last fruit is
If you check where the names actually come from, it makes perfect sense. The word Banana was borrowed by Spanish or Portuguese from a West African word. The plant seems to be native to Southeast Asia and the East Indies; it was introduced in Africa in prehistoric times and brought to the New World from Africa in 1516.
The world banana comes from the Arabic word banan moz بنان موز Banan = finger Easier to say banana This is back when English was trading with Arabs in silkroad Source: (Edit: tried to post a link but my comment got deleted I think it’s not allowed here)
A berry botanically is a fleshy fruit with no pit that grows from a single flower with only one ovary. Raspberries, Strawberries and Blackberries don’t really count, whereas Grapes, Bananas, Tomatoes and Eggplant all fit that description.
The reason strawberries are actually called strawberries is cuz old strawberry Farmers used to cover them with straw in the winter to keep them alive for next year and they probably thought it was a Berry ans the name just caught on

berry, in botany, a simple fleshy fruit that usually has many seeds, such as the banana, grape, and tomato. As a simple fruit, a berry is derived from a single ovary of an individual flower. The middle and inner layers of the fruit wall often are not distinct from each other.
It is a berry.
IK RIGHT LIKE WTF!?!
“i like straws” got my dying 😂😂
It’s fine to call strawberries “berries”. Berry originally referred to any small fruit eaten whole, but then later scientists borrowed the word so it could be used within the field of botany.

I don’t wanna be that guy but, strawberries are called “strawberries” because in the past, people used to grow strawberries and surround them with straws, like, the plant.
The straw helped by keeping snails and other types of bugs away from eating the strawberries
Oh thanks

You can also get rid of a strawberry’s leaves by pushing a drinking straw through the tip and out the center of the leaves.
Also a lot of languages call a pineapple “Ananas” while English just went “yeah fuck it, Pine and Apple”
I get the "pine", given it has the same look as a closed pinecone, but the apple... *shrug*
@@NWolfsson The "pine" part indeed comes from pinecones. The "apple" bit is because the word "apple" (or rather, appel, as it was spelled back then) used to be a blanket term for all fruit, rather than a specific one
I learned that from this channel! haha
@@NWolfssonapple was the generic name for fruit before they ended up calling one specific fruit an apple.

Fun fact strawberries are actually called strawberries because Germany keeps them fresh by puting them on straws on the ground so they wouldn't go bad on the ground
Wait do other countries not put straw on strawberry fields?
But fun fact: in German it's "Erdbeere" which doesn't directly translate to strawberry(that'd be "Strohbeere") but rather something like "earth berry" or "soil berry" as it's made from the words "Erd"(shprt form for "Erde" which translates to Earth and Soil) and "Beere"(which translates to berry)

Yeah, most berries aren't actually berries and you'd be surprised how many fruits you didn't know were actually berries
Wait untill you learn about Tomatoes.

funny, thats exactly how my parents named my siblings, random and funny
They are berries, they’re “common berries” and bananas are “botanical berries”.
@squid game square guard I would bet that the strawberry got its name before the berry got its botanical classification
Strawberries and Blackberries are actually considered Nuts (I guess you know the sesame looking like things on strawberries, they are the actual fruits), the Red and Purple you see is something called "accesorry fruit" (that's when something not originally belonging to the fruit itself comes together with the fruit and can only be found together in nature)

There are wild differences between "culinary" and "botanical" fruits, berries, and vegetables.
An aubergine (eggplant) is a culinary vegetable, but a botanical fruit, and more specifically a berry.
Raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries *are* all berries, but only in the culinary sense. Not botanically.
Botanically, even watermelons and pumpkins are berries, but culinarily a berry is a small, juicy fruit with no large pits.

If you check where the names actually come from, it makes perfect sense.
The word Banana was borrowed by Spanish or Portuguese from a West African word. The plant seems to be native to Southeast Asia and the East Indies; it was introduced in Africa in prehistoric times and brought to the New World from Africa in 1516.
So.......how does it make sense?
@@pja5194 Like I just explained, the sense lies in the history behind every word. Etymology, my guy.

A berry botanically is a fleshy fruit with no pit that grows from a single flower with only one ovary. Raspberries, Strawberries and Blackberries don’t really count, whereas Grapes, Bananas, Tomatoes and Eggplant all fit that description.
The reason strawberries are actually called strawberries is cuz old strawberry Farmers used to cover them with straw in the winter to keep them alive for next year and they probably thought it was a Berry ans the name just caught on
