In common usage, âberryâ refers to any small edible fruitâusually juicy, colorful, sweet or sour, and without a pit, though it may have small seeds. This is how we are using the term. However, the botanical definition of berry is a fleshy fruit derived from a single flower and containing a single ovary. Botanically speaking, tomatoes, avocados, eggplants, grapes, watermelons, and bananas are all berries, whereas blackberries, raspberries, mulberries, and strawberries are not.
