Berry, as defined by botanists, is a fleshy, many-seeded fruit. It has its seeds embedded within the flesh of a single, juicy, enlarged ovary (see Flower (Fertilization) ). Blueberries, tomatoes, and grapes are berries. But strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries are not berries by the botanical definition (see Fruit (Simple fruits) ). Most people call any small, fleshy fruit that contains many seeds a berry.
