RE: Learn Something New Every Day Contest. Day 1
I always liked that fact but did you know @castleberry that a banana is not a fruit but is in fact a herb.
@gogogadget thats not a double entry it just a free food based fact.
Free fact or not, I would love to know the source on that.
@gogogadget & @shai-hulud According to ENCYCLOPÆDIA BRITANNICA The banana is the fruit of an herb..... and so are Pineapples!....(MINDBLOWN)
Weird, I thought herbs were typically bushes, and I thought bananas and pineapples both grew on trees.
I learnt something new today too... I would never have thought a banana was classed as a herb. Crazy!
The Pineapple looks like a pine cone growing on the top of a tropical plant that is pretty low to the ground. The banana is the fruit of what seems more like bamboo stalks than a tree. This has been fun looking into... and I think this has been a great Idea for regular thing!
Thanks for the support, bud!
