I think everybody know exactly in apple so I just want to talk about berry and corn. The botanical definition of a berry is a simple fruit produced from a single ovary, such as a grape or a tomato. Also, today I choose blueberry for this cake. For corn, you will get many benefits from this fruit like helping antioxidant activity, increase levels of ferulic acid, battling cancer and so on.
