Botanically a banana is a berry but a strawberry is not. A berry grows from one ovary with seeds in its flesh—bananas qualify. A strawberry's red part is a swollen receptacle, and each speck on it is actually a separate fruit holding a seed.
Bananas are radioactive, thanks to potassium-40, a natural isotope. A medium one decays ~15 times a second — basis of the informal "banana equivalent dose." Yet eating one doesn't raise your dose; the body sheds the same amount to keep its total steady.
