Are cherries a fruit or a berry?

Cherries are classified botanically as fruit, specifically a type of fleshy fruit called a “drupe.” A drupe typically consists of a central seed surrounded by a fleshy outer layer, which in the case of cherries, is the edible part that we commonly eat.

While cherries may share some similarities with berries, such as having a sweet or tart taste and small size, they are not classified as berries botanically. Berries, in botanical terms, are fruits that develop from a single ovary and typically have multiple seeds embedded within the flesh. Examples of true berries include strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
