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.
