Why are blueberries called blueberry if they are purple?
Blueberries are called blueberries because they are observably blue. The real color of blueberry is deep purple with reddish-purple juice inside even if it appears blue in color. There is no blue color pigment in blueberries but it contains a pigment called anthocyanin that gives a unique purple color to blueberries. Technically speaking, blueberries are red or purple but for a common man blueberry is blue.
That was great
ReplyDeleteDespite their deep purple hue, blueberries are named for their blue-tinted skin. The name captures their outer appearance, even if the inside is more purple

Now I know it thanks 😊
ReplyDeleteWhile blueberries appear purple or dark blue, they can also have a bluish tint, especially when viewed in certain lighting. The outer skin can give the impression of blue.
ReplyDeleteBlueberries are named after their deep blue skin, although their flesh can appear purple or even green. Skin contains powerful antioxidants known as anthocyanins, which are responsible for giving it its blue color. Though the blueberry may look purple on the inside, its vibrant outer appearance gave it the name "blueberry". The word "purpleberry" does not have the same ring as "blackberry"!
