Strawberry seeds are designed by a malevolent god to stick perfectly in human front teeth.
Raspberry seeds make fun of strawberry seeds.
I have a chia seed from 1973 in the back of my mouth.
You celebrated 50 years together two years ago... Such a heartwarming story!
Keeps my mouth warm too
They are made to stay a long time in hosts so that they can spread farther
strawberries are accessory fruits, not nuts.
But they're covered in nuts
Kinda like your mom last night

...which is exactly what the third comment is saying
Achenes are not nuts.
(1) Achene. A small hard indehiscent fruit. The term is strictly only applied to those formed from one carpel, but is sometimes used for those formed from two carpels (e.g. the fruit of the Compositae). The latter is better termed a cypsela.
(2) Nut. This is similar to an achene, but is typically formed from two or three carpels (e.g. dock fruit).
https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/achene
i. Achene - A one-seeded, dry, indehiscent fruit; the one seed is attached to the fruit wall at a single point.
ii. Nut - A dry, indehiscent, one seeded fruit similar to an achene but with the wall greatly thickened and hardened.

Also, even if they were, it wouldn't make the strawberry a nut. It would make it covered in nuts.
Why is microsoft from Germany writing in English? Why don't they just post it on their main Account which actually has a primarely English-speaking audience?
The original post (not shown in the screenshot) is from PBS, thatโs why it says โAuthorโ by their name. If it was in English (likely) it makes sense to answer in English as well.
Ok, the original post by PBS is just cropped out, that makes sense, thanks for the explanation
To me arguing over which fruit belongs in which category is a prime example of people arguing over shadows in Plato's cave. Not that it's a waste of time or anything but sometimes people act like tomatoes won't grow if you call them vegetables. Like at the end of the day it's just humans developing a system to make sense of nature rather than discovering an inherent, pre-existing system.

The core of the matter is that we have multiple, mutually incompatible schemes sharing in part the same terminology. Biology is not cooking, both fields care about vastly different things thus the categorisation scheme is different, that's the end of it. Culinarily, tomatoes have too much umami to be fruit. Botanically peppermint is an aromatic, I recommend you not put any into your soffritto.
EDIT:
Tomato is also dominated by oxalic acid, not malic, citric, (typical fruit acids) or acetic (fermented/overripe). Oxalic acid is in parsley, chives, spinach, beans, lettuce, that kind of stuff. "It's sour" isn't sufficient to describe a taste profile, our tongues may not tell them apart but our noses definitely do.
I think it should be possible to break the culinary categorisation down to chemistry. That doesn't tell you anything about the "why" but it's definitely not random and definitely not all in our heads.
I've heard every combination of "[food] is actually [plant part]" so any time anyone says this type of sentence, I just roll my eyes.
Cabbages are actually tree trunks
Raspberries are actually tubers
Wheat is actually a berry
And oranges are actually an eldritch, ante-dimensional horror perpetrated by intelligent, unseen beings
Also acorns are the progenitors of oranges.
Potatoes
are actually an eldritch, ante-dimensional horror perpetrated by intelligent, unseen beings
too.
So what this nerd is saying is that we can milk a strawberry??
Before the tech gets there, let's commission some "art" on that subject?
(For real, the seeds being nuts is a stretch)
Strawberries do not have nipples. :(
Ofc not, don't be silly.
Nuts have nipples (where do you think almond milk comes from? Kids today have prob never seen an almond on a farm & think almond milk grows in the stores!).
And if the seeds on the strawberries really are "nuts", then we should be able to milk them.
I see no flaw in my logic.
The real problem these days is with intensive almond farming. Almond tastes better from free range almonds, with space to graze in peace and calm between the bushes.
Have you heard of "bitter almonds"? Turns up in mystery novels. It's what you get from caged almonds raised on steroids.
I love it when activists save caged almonds & how their little faces light up when, for the first time in their nutty lives, they arent sucked on by a relentless machine.
This thread gets dangerously close to r34 territory, and I do not know if I like that.
Well, unfortunately I'm no artist & I'm against AI (the system, not the tech as such), so no pics.
But yeah, definitely, can you imagine the number of nips on a single strawberry? And the satisfaction of each nut? The dripping milk?
...no, definitely not.
Strawberry cows
I want to fill a spoon with strawberry seeds and see how it tastes
You gotta shell them first.
Like cashews!
I thought nuts had to come from trees, though.
Like, peanuts aren't actually nuts.
There's a legumes joke in there, but I dunno.
Peanuts claim to be nuts, but they aren't a legumtimate part of the taxonomy.
I dunno.
Ah, my favorite flavor enhancing chemical:
Monosodium Legumtimate.
Honest attempt. 7.5/10.
While peanuts are not nuts, but legumes.
I hereby christen thee, pealegumes.
Like cashews?
Is this why strawberries are common allergens? Like so much more common than other fruits?
This is nuts!
You need to put an exclamation mark (!) before you insert the image, like this:
Thanks. I don't comment much anymore.
Strawberry nut flour - it's gluten free!
