Apparently these are not the seeds themselves but only the remains of the original ovulums that contained the seed when they still existed.

Hey, I already hate peanut butter, you don’t have to convince me any more! ;-)

If we allow for scientific names, the winner would probably be “Aa”, the name of a type of plant.
But I personally would not count them, as not part of everyday language.
I asked an AI if it could come up with other suggestions. It burned up 5000 tokens while thinking and successfully found “Alabama”.
So I think banana lost its first place in any case…

“Strange times for the berry club…”
I love that comic strip! :-)

But is “Ara” an English word? My favorite translation page tells me that the English name of the bird is “macaw”. Still a nice A-ratio, although lower than for banana! :-)

Ok, I stand corrected, TIL about parthenocarpy:

In botany and horticulture, parthenocarpy is the natural or artificially induced production of fruit without fertilisation of ovules, which makes the fruit seedless

And the word “banana” might be a very promising candidate for the word with the highest “letter a”-to-consonant-ratio in the English language. Unless there are some double-a words out there…

I thought the tiny black dots inside were supposed to be the seeds?

Also: Strawberries are nuts - and Peanuts aren’t.

I don’t remember Pokémon Red/Blue and am a parent… So this means I am considered young? 😀
