So which true berry is best?










There are what people commonly consider berries, there is what botany considers berries, and then there are fruits that meet both definitions. This is the thread dedicated to those special fruit.

So no raspberries/blackberries/hybrids: aggregate fruit
No strawberries: accessory fruits
No mulberries: multiple fruits
No chokeberries/serviceberries: pomes
No cherries/bayberries/crowberries: drupes
No tomatoes/melons/grapes/bananas/etc: botanically berries, but not normally considered berries

For better or worse there's more than 10 available options, but I'm not going to put an other option in. Otherwise people are just going to vote other, and choose something like raspberries that don't even qualify.

Most other berries most people probably have never tried, assuming they ever even heard of them. If you like jostaberries, just choose black currants/gooseberries depending on what stage you prefer them as and post in the comments. Or comment if you like huckleberries, maqui berries, pink mountain berries, arbutus unedo, amla, or bearberries.

There's also stuff like seaberries, which don't really fully meet the definition for berry or drupe. There's also coffee cherries, where it's arguable whether it's a drupe or a berry, but almost no one actually eats the actual berry part...

Countdown to blueberries winning (even though honeyberries are a better blueberry), since cranberries are probably the only other berry that most people have even had experience with.
