Berries are a subcategory of fruits, the sweet, fleshy, seed-holding structures of a flowering plant.
Bananas develop from a flower with a single ovary and have a soft skin, fleshy middle and small seeds.
As such, they meet all botanical requirements of a berry and can be considered both a fruit and berry.
Tomatoes, grapes, kiwis, avocados, peppers, eggplants and guavas are some other fruits that fulfill the requirements to be considered botanical berries. Yet, like bananas, they’re seldom thought of as such.

Just when you thought you knew what was what, get a little up in age and they change everything on you, I use to know an apple from an orange now I’m not so sure.
But I think that I can say that I work with a bunch of fruits and vegetables, and a few that I think are normal, but do I really know what normal is?
