ZD, you’re too literal. Strawberries aren’t berries (at least botanically). I don’t know where you get the idea that quinoa is a berry. Wikipedia says it’s a pseudocereal (like buckwheat, which IS considered kitniyos).

DY, three of the four fats you list aren’t derivatives of seeds that some people consider kitniyos. I’ve heard that some people consider cottonseeds kitniyos, but I don’t know of any use of cottonseeds as food for humans.
