A berry is a type of fruit, usually small, juicy, and of a bright color contrasting with their background to make them more noticeable to the animals that disperse them. They have one or more carpels within a thin covering and very fleshy interiors, with the seeds embedded in the common flesh of a single ovary. Examples of berries include guavas, tomatoes, and blueberries.
