Watermelons are not a true berry, but are a type of modified berry called a 'pepo'. Yes! Technically watermelons are a berry! a berry is anything where the entire ovary is fleshy and juicy throughout. The outer covering may be either soft and leather or somewhat hard, the later of which is the case of the watermelon

What is the worlds largest berry?

The watermelon, Citrullus lanatus, produces the largest berry. The watermelon is, however, classified as a 'pepo,' sometimes called a 'false berry,' because of the plant's inferior ovaries. The name, however, is a false cognate, meaning that, despite being called a 'false berry' (also called an epigynous berry), pepos, including watermelons, are considered to be berries. The largest berries with a superior ovary are considered to be eggplants, avocados, and plantains.

Are the berries of the watermelon berry plant okay to eat?

Sort of. There are two reasons I'm hedging: Some sites claim the berries have a laxative effect (leading to their alternative name of "scoot berries"). Also, the plant known as "false hellebore" looks pretty similar to the watermelon berry plant, and it's toxic.
