For example, even though raspberries are fruits, they are actually NOT berries. Scientifically speaking, berries are fruits
whose seeds and flesh come from just one flower. A single raspberry is actually made up of lots of tiny round fruits,
each with its own seed. Therefore, a raspberry is called a composite fruit. Look at a raspberry up close or under a
magnifying glass, and you can see the individual fruits. How cool is that?
