@gistwiseapp: Is a Banana a Berry? Why a Strawberry Isn't 🍌🍓 Why is a banana a berry, but a strawberry isn't? To a botanist, a berry must grow from a flower with just one ovary, have a soft skin, and have seeds set in fleshy tissue. A banana passes all three.

Even the avocado counts as a berry. 🎧 Hear the full 4-minute Gist, with its sources and a quick quiz, in the free GistWise app: https://gistwise.ai/open?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=short_banana GistWise: short, fact-checked audio lessons on 37 topics.
