Botanists classify a berry as a single-ovary fruit with a soft rind. Bananas qualify. Strawberries, with seeds on the outside, are 'aggregate accessory fruits'.

Archaeologists have unearthed sealed honey pots in Egyptian tombs, over 3,000 years old, and still perfectly edible. Low water, low pH, natural hydrogen peroxide.
Spice
Saffron is heavier, gram-for-gram, than gold on many days.
It takes roughly 75,000 crocus flowers, all hand-picked at dawn, to yield a single pound. That's why chefs measure it in threads, not spoons.
