Do pomegranate seeds count?

I like pomegranate-- well, not the seed itself per se, but ya know, how the fleshy part is stuck around the seed. Sigh. Too early. Anyway, yes, I like those. Pumpkin seeds (Chinese style) are good because they yield more 'flesh' than say a sunflower seed and are easier to get in my opinion. But I like sunflower seeds, too. My main gripe is that all these seeds are way too salty! :(
 
Pomegranate seeds are delicious. Can't eat more than half of the fruit or else I start throwing up. I love roasted pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds.

Well, you don't eat the seed itself (like a sunflower), you eat the tiniest bit of fruity flesh that immediately surrounds each seed.

Confounded, I'm sure some of you google masters can find a picture! :eek:

And apparently bananas aren't fruit but tomatoes are :eek: Crazy!

Tomatoes are actually berries, just like blueberries and grapes. And actually my botany text calls bananas a "leathery berry", so that makes it a fruit. Go figure.

But a strawberry and a raspberry are not berries - they are accessory and aggregate fruits, respectivly. But a pumpkin is a specific kind of berry called a pepo!

Favorite seeds? Easy! Sweet Corn and Rice!

Hmmm...interesting. I must find and consume these seeds.
