Fun fact, berries are fruits with 1 segment, like bananas or apples, meaning raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries aren't berries.

And berries are quite expensive as well, and are prone to get deteriorate pretty quickly. And another thing which I noticed is that Strawberry is not as sweet as what they are portrayed in Strawberry-flavored food items.

Strawberries are nuts, as far as I'm aware. :)

Who knew that peanut butter & strawbelly jelly sandwiches were actually just using two versions of a pulverized nut?

I still have my world rocked when I remember corn is a fruit. Tomato, sure fine it's fruit-ish, the berries aren't actually berries okay, banana is a berry fine, but corn??? is a fruit????

I do consider corn as fruit, or rather everyone treats corn as fruit. The dishes made with corns are not prevalent over here, like in west. But the way people consume them is quite relatable to fruits. We don't even drink water after eating corns, just like the case for the other fruits.

But I think more than knowing the terms, it is important to know the benefits of having them, and enjoying eating them !!

By the way, there is something called "False Fruit" as well.

I think I'll always consider bananas a fruit. ^^"

Speaking of weird classifications, I never understood why barnacles are crustaceans and not mollusks.

Only more fuel to my crustacean condemnation.....sealife in general is weird but crustaceans just give me the heebies AND the jeebies and are just....gross in my opinion.

And the fact that everything keeps evolving into crabs(the worst culprits) is the worst part!!!

I've never had crab, but shrimp can be pretty heckin tasty when prepared right 🤤

I don't consume creatures, and am happy seeing them living freely in their habitat !

I don't really eat that much meat and cheese and all. But the things I like, I really like. And there have just not been any vegan alternatives for things like mozzarella sticks that even tasted remotely good. Also, no person I know irl eats vegan or vegetarian which makes it even harder for me to consider a switch. I simply don't have the energy to force myself and keep at it. ^^"

I rarely eat meat.

My brother is a vegan. When he visits he obviously uses vegan recipes.

I'll be honest. It's drastically hit or miss. There are some incredible meat replications, and others that aren't even close.

Doesn't really help that most meat replacements are also just too expensive to afford them on a day to day basis.
Well the good ones I've had are anyway =P

Whereas in ours case, we don't need meat replacements and we are content with whatever vegetables, fruits, cereals, millet, etc. which we can get. I had heard from my friend who lives in UK that they get tin canned jackfruits which are considered as replacement for meat. Though Jackfruits are quite common in Asia, but I never really knew that use of Jackfruit until I came across that fact.
