Is it important to know that banana, is a berry but strawberry is not? See detail.

Something is wrong with the link above. It’s ok here.

No I don’t think it is important to know that.
But thank you for posting the information.

…By the way, why, or why not? And if it’s even better not to know, why?

It’s not better to know or not to know. It’s only important to know that a banana is edible, good for you, and you can’t make yummy banana bread without them.

The strawberry is the only fruit with its seeds on the outside.

Now you are confusing me @stanleybmanly.

Banana has no seeds, it can only spread by growing offshoots the dark specks in the banana are not seeds.

Strawberries grow a lot of offshoots too.

Meh. The words “berry” and “nut” were not created with a scientific botanical definition in mind. A botanical definition was created later and scientists were all like “actually, almost nothing you think of as a berry or nut is actually a berry or nut”, wow, thanks. I guess it’s interesting but it’s not going to make me call a banana a “berry” or call a strawberry a “straw fruit” or something like that. lol

It is as important to know a banana is technically a berry as it is important to know that a tomato is a fruit, not a vegetable.

In other words, it isn’t important at all because it isn’t going to change how you eat any of them.

I think it’s important to know
that banana,
is a berry but strawberry is not, @flo

Interesting information. Thanks for posting,

I’ll continue to refer to strawberries, blackberries, blueberries and cranberries as berries. I’ll continue to not refer to bananas as berries.

I know tomatoes are fruit, technically, but in my mind, they’re in the veggie category because they’re not sweet, not, at least, as sweet as other fruits.

It is more important to know that they taste good and have nutritional value.

@jca2 It’s also important to know that “vegetable” has no technical definition, so a tomato is a botanical fruit but is also vegetable, which is strictly a culinary term.

@Demosthenes is right. In culinary terms, a tomato is a vegetable and rightly so,
But I think I WILL start referring to bananas as berries.

What people call “seeds” on the ouside of strawberries are not seeds, is that correct? I’m looking which website I read that on. I’ll continue reading the rest of the posts.

Some things are not as important to know as others. If someone calls another brand name of tissue paper Kleenex, it’s less of consequence than if someone calls Almond juice, “Almond Milk” because people will buy Almond milk thinking it has all the items that the nutritionists/ health care providers tells them that they are lacking.

Thanks @Yellowdog.

…Although I’m not suggesting it’s better to refer to bananas oranges etc., as berries, in everyday life since listeners probably will not know, my guess is.

Usually people buy almond milk because they are lactose intolerant, so they are looking for something to replace milk.
Nuts and dairy have two completely different sets of nutritional value.

Nobody buys almond milk thinking it has the same nutritional values as dairy milk. We buy almond milk because dairy hurts us or because we’re vegan/vegetarian.

Calling almond milk almond “milk” is simply a marketing tool. It’s an advertising gimmick to draw in the people who, for whatever reason, don’t drink dairy milk from cows.

“Calling Almond juice Almond ”milk” is….”

….simply a marketing tool. It’s an advertising gimmick to draw in the people who, for whatever reason, don’t drink dairy milk from cows.

…telling you to use it as you would milk from cows.

^^^Indeed. It works well in cereal, for dunking cookies, as a stand-alone drink, or any number of basic applications in which one might use dairy milk.

Almond powder suspension does not sound as appetizing.

ROFLOLL!!! Is THAT what it really is? They just crush the shit out of almonds? I guess I figured there was some oil to be had, like with peanut oil.

Peanut oil—crush the shit out of peanuts—peanut butter.

Yes, but peanuts ARE oily. And you can buy containers of peanut oil for frying.

Almonds contain oil as well.

So why isn’t almond oil on the shelves for cooking? —and how
do they get oil out of vegetables?—

How would I know? I’m not in the food industry. Ask the folks who produce cooking oils.

Or maybe it’s a conspiracy by Big Peanut, masterminded by Jimmy Carter.

Almond oil for cooking .

I’m sure it’s because peanuts are waaaayyyy cheaper than almonds.

So sure that you weren’t even aware that almonds are processed for their oil.

Unnecessary sarcasm is not necessary @Darth.

Did you even bother to read the article linked above? Or are you so sure in your knowledge of a product you didn’t even know existed that you don’t need to?

I ask because if you had you’d understand why it’s not as common as peanut oil.

I thought we were just shooting the bull. Didn’t realize you got all serious on me.

I like to keep people on their toes.

Besides, sarcasm is my preferred method of communication.
