The sweet and sour taste of berries, like the taste of first love, has captured the hearts of many young girls! Berries can not only enhance the taste of desserts, but also contain vitamin Cand anthocyanins that can help anti-oxidation and anti-aging. It is also one of the maintenance secrets of many women.
Berry (berry): A fruit whose peel is fleshy and full of juice, the English name refers to Berry. The botanical definition of berries must meet the "multi-seed fleshy fruit produced by a single ovary", so in fact, strawberries, raspberries, etc. do not belong to the berries. But everyone is used to the name, so they don't care much.
Maybe you want to ask, since strawberry is not a berry, what is the reason for calling it straberry. Judy Jernstedt, a professor in the Department of Botany at the University of California, Davis, said that this is because people called these fruits thousands of years ago when botanists came up with the exact definition of "berry". Create such a beautiful misunderstanding.
Although there are many classifications of fruits in botany, such as berries, aggregated fruits, stone fruits (such as peaches), achenes (such as dandelions), pods (such as peas), etc., most people do not know them. And the names of these fruits have a history of thousands of years when botanists came up with the formal classification, which is why Straberry is not called berry and banana is not called berry!
