Strawberries aren't berries.
The seeds on the outside of them are nuts (I think that's what it was)

[Syobon]

Sort of, strawberry isn't an actual fruit, it's a pseudofruit (which is really just a biological technicality). The seeds on the outside aren't nuts, since that's another kind of fruit, they're containers of the actual seeds. Again biological technicality why they aren't considered nuts.

Also pineapples are also pseudofruits, not berries.
