Berry

When the characteristic "berry" is mentioned for an ingredient in dog food, it means that this ingredient is biologically classified as a berry. In botany, a berry is a fruit that develops from the ovary of a flower and typically contains juicy pulp and seeds embedded in the pulp. Botanical berries include fruits such as tomatoes, grapes, bananas and peppers. This differs from what is often referred to as a "berry" in everyday usage, such as strawberries or raspberries, which are not true berries botanically speaking.

In dog food terms, this means that the ingredient in question is likely to have some of the nutritional benefits of berries, such as vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
