It’s the same as tomato being taxonomically a fruit. Taxonomically does not mean culinarily. Most people use culinary terms for these. Tomato is a vegetable. The first berry group is berries. Etc.
At times like these I’m kinda ok with portuguese lacking a “proper” word for berry. “Bago” or “baga” isn’t really used, at least not in everyday life, everyone will always refer to them as fruits
Chat is this real
What keeps a peach from being a single-seed berry or from an avocado being a drupe?
Edit: low-key love that we are all learning by sharing knowledge and evidence. It’s refreshing.
Edit 2: Fun Fact. Did you know Oklahoma has Watermelon as the State’s Vegetable?
Drupes have pits contained within a hard shell (I guess called an endocarp?).
Peach pits look like an almond inside of a walnut shell basically. Avocados just have a really large seed in direct contact with the buttery soft mesocarp.
I don’t know who decided to classify gourds, melons, and citrus fruits as berries, but I imagine they had mischief in mind…
The hard endocarp
In other words, by my understanding, peaches have a pit containing their seeds, but avocados just have a seed.
Do avocados not have a pit?
We call it that but the whole thing is just a big ol seed
But how is that any different than a peach? I’m so confused by this.
Peach pits aren’t seeds, but they have a seed inside.
A pumpkin is a berry?!
I guess so? Which I suppose means all the other gourds/squash/melons/cucumbers are too
Fruit is sweet, vegetables are savory, berries are what I declare to be a berry. Done and done
Fish are fishy.
Most “fruit” are sweet because we made them so. And we did so with plenty of vegetables too.
Sweetest thing in my garden are tomatoes.
Once you grow your own tomatoes, supermarket just won’t do. It’s a different world, we are tomato buddies
I didn’t know plants have ovaries. Does that mean that strawberries are like an afterbirth? Are seedless fruit menstrual flow?
Maybe humans could evolve so that the bloody placenta attracts wolves who then raise the baby.

Pictures?
Aubergines, cucumbers, kiwi, and citrusfruit are botanical berries as well. The correct answer is that berry should be seen as a culinary term just like fruit and vegetable.
That’s nuts!
Well ackthually… that’s a legume
Not only that, banana is a grass berry.
