Fun Facts

  1. A true berry is a fruit that develops from a single flower and a single ovary. The ovary is the female part of a flower. That means grapes, kiwis, and even bananas are berries. Think about that the next time you peel into a banana.
  2. Raw broccoli has cancer-fighting compounds, though. In a part-by-part breakdown, the florets have a few more nutrients than the stalks. And the leaves, which most people throw out, have some nutrients not found in either the stem or the florets.
  3. Avocados have seeds, so that makes them fruits. They have a lot of fat, but it’s the good kind that lowers cholesterol.
  4. We need potassium to help strengthen our muscles and control our blood pressure. Bananas are high in it, but they aren’t the best source.
  5. In the plant world, blackberries, raspberries, and even strawberries aren’t berries at all, but clumps of tiny individual fruits that grew together.
