The Remarkable Health Benefits of Berries.

[T.T.]

What IS a berry? Why it's a small, pulpy fruit, which is typically edible as well. Most of them are colorful, with bright hues, rounded and juicy. Some are sweet and some are sour, and they do not have a big pit or stone in the center (at times, many small seeds or pips). They are also, more often than not, really healthy, being able to prevent and help with a variety of health concerns. The guide below you leads to the health benefits of 8 different berries.

I love strawberries, blueberries, and black berries.

Interesting to read, T.T.

It is good to read about food we enjoy I agree Kerri.

I notice one glaring omission ... bananas.

It sounds surprising but botanically, bananas are considered berries. The classification of fruit is based on the part of the tree that develops into the fruit.

I thought it sounds unbelievable a banana being a berry.

Interesting read. We used to pick wild gooseberries and blueberries.

They would be lovely just off the bushes spice.

I know, right? Well, get ready for this:

Watermelons are berries. And so are cucumbers, cantaloupes, squash and pumpkins.
