Several types of "berries" from the market,
but only the blueberrries are true berries
Enlarge berries image

In botany, a berry is the most common type of simple fleshy fruit, one in which the entire ovary wall ripens into an (usually) edible pericarp. The ovary is always superior in these flowers, and they have one or more carpels within a thin covering and very fleshy interiors, the seeds embedded in the common flesh of an ovary that is either single or multi-carpelate. Examples of berries are grape and tomato, but many other common fruits are considered true berries: citrus fruits like orange and lemon are modified berries; date, avocado, persimmon, egg plant, guava, blueberry, and red pepper are all berries to a botanist.

In plant species with an inferior ovary, the floral tube (including the basal parts of the sepals, petals, and stamens) can ripen along with the ovary, creating an accessory fruit called a false berry. Included in this category are banana, squash fruits like cucumber, squash, watermelon, and pumpkin, currant, cranberry, gooseberry, and muskmelon.

Many berries are small, juicy, and of a bright color contrasting with their background to make them more noticeable to the animals that disperse them and thus scatter the seeds of the plant.

In common parlance and cuisine, the term "berry" refers to small, sweet fruits; in this sense, the strawberry is a berry and the tomato is not. Other culinary berries that are not botanical berries are blackberries, raspberries, gooseberries, and boysenberries.

Richard Berry

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Richard Berry (1935-1997) was an American singer and songwriter.

He is best known as the composer and original performer of the rock standard "Louie Louie." The song, which was inspired by René Touzet's "El Loco Cha Cha" and by Chuck Berry's "Havana Moon," was a regional hit when released on the American West Coast in 1956, and The Kingsmen's more raucous version became a national hit in 1963. The song has been recorded over 1,000 times. The nearly unintelligible (and innocuous) lyrics of The Kingsmen's versions were widely misinterpreted as obscene, and the song was banned by radio stations and even investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Berry is also known as the voice of Henry on Etta James' "Roll with Me, Henry" and as the narrator on The Robins' "Riot in Cell Block #9."
