Citrus is a Berry and More
Posted in Fruits & Vegetables, Language on 09/22/2010 04:31 pm by Jake RichterSo, I learned yesterday that citrus is a hesperidium, which in turn is a berry with a leathery skin. Furthermore, the pulp bits of citrus – the fluid filled sacs – are called “vesicles”, while the triangular segments are call carpels. All this and much here can be found here.
