I have an interesting question for all of you science lovers... Seriously, why don't blue foods exist? (I'm talking about natural foods.) Think about it... Blueberries are not really blue. Blue cheese is not really blue. So why don't blue foods exist??

How much naturally occurring blue anything is there? It's just an uncommon colour.

And blue cheese is not blue because it's actually bleu cheese which means something else.

Isn't it a color that actually doesn't happen in nature? Like, aren't blueberries actually not even blue?

It occurs but only because it's so rare meaning that it's used in sexual selection (blue jays, frogs) and plants (indigo, blue corn) being more attractive. And a couple of jewels.

Also re: blueberries I think their skins are blue but the fruit is purple? Something like that.
