What fruit?  They don't "come in" fruit, the seeds *are* the fruit,
aren't they?  And what berries are you talking about?

Pistachios?!  What do they have in common with pistachios?  Pistachios
grow on trees, don't they?

In any case, what difference does it make how it grows?  "Daysa" is a
culinary term, and quinoa is cooked exactly like any other kashe.
