Are berries considered fruit? (mushrooms, coffee, bread, 2015)

If it has seeds it's a fruit...I think that is how it goes?

Is that like wearing your heart on your sleeve?

While I agree that most questions are not dumb, the OP knows the answer to the question, as indicated by this follow-up post:

Figs are actually the inside-out flower of their tree. I just thought I'd throw that out there as a quirky fruit fact.

OhioGirl, I asked a sincere question, and also realizing the ridiculousness of the question, I found it funny. Because I'm 40 years old and should really have all the basic facts of life down by now, but when nutritionists specify "berries" I started to form a separate category for them in my mind.

They have different nutrition specs....but really....a fruit is a fruit. It doesn't change because an orange is high in vitiman c and a banana has lots of potassium doesn't mean they aren't still....fruit.

Bananas are fruits, plantains are vegetable, I think

Grapenuts are neither grapes, nor nuts. Just like Christian Scientists.
