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.

ReplyDeleteThat is an excellent question! Blueberries are named after their blue outer skin, which appears deep blue to bluish-purple, especially when they are fresh and ripe. Despite the fact that the inside is more purple or even reddish, the name is based on the outward appearance of the fruits. In addition to their bluish appearance, they are coated with a natural waxy coating (called the bloom). Therefore, it is more about what the eye sees from the outside than it is about the actual color of the interior.
