🌟 FUN FACT FRIDAY! 🌟 🍌 Did you know bananas are berries… but strawberries aren't? 🍓🤯 Botanically speaking, a banana is classified as a berry because of the way it develops from the flower. But despite having “berry” in their name, strawberries aren't actually true berries! 😲 With bananas being such a familiar sight around Far North Queensland, we thought this was a good one for us! 🍌🌿 💬 Did you know this one? 👍 YES – already knew it! 😲 NO – you got me this week! Happy Friday from everyone at Mareeba Community Centre! 💙💚 #FunFactFriday #DidYouKnow #BananaFacts
