The picture of blackberries should be removed from the example pictures in the summary.

The text of the article states specifically that Blackberry is NOT a berry and yet the example pictures in the top right have a picture of blackberries. Jakespeedorg (talk) 07:35, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering if it might be helpful to add reference to the Journal of Berry Research (https://journals.sagepub.com/home/ber) under the Research section. Aquaquaqu (talk) 20:07, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

It is a low-quality publication not indexed in MEDLINE. Reviewing its publications over the past few months, there is considerable exaggeration and misinformation from lab research about the supposed health benefits of consuming berries. Like any food, berries supply a certain range of nutrients, but there is no clinical evidence that eating berries confers any special anti-disease or health effects. High-quality WP:MEDRS-level publications will not appear in this journal. Zefr (talk) 20:53, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I like that there are separate articles for Berry and Berry (botany). I think this article still includes too much information about the botanical classification "berry", which is mostly irrelevant to culinary usage. I'd rather see this article go more in depth on cultural or culinary use of berries; referring to the botanical classification once and pointing in the direction of the article seems sufficient. —Jchthys 14:08, 21 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Near the beginning of the page, the photos push some words into a long column on the left, at least on an IPhone. Could someone who has the ability to edit the page fix that? Crady19 (talk) 01:16, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
