Fun Fact: Pumpkins are real berries!
Yes, you read that right! Even though we think of berries as small and sweet, botanically pumpkins are actually one of them. The seeds are embedded directly in the pulp – just like in raspberries, cucumbers or melons. Due to their hard shell, pumpkins are classified as so-called armoured berries, which develop from the plant's golden yellow flowers.
So next time you snack on pumpkin seeds, remember: you're nibbling on the seeds of an XXL berry.
