Why isn't there any naturally-colored blue food?!


Question: First off, I mean REAL food--not artificially colored stuff.
Blueberries are purple, folks. Sorry. Also, I don't consider mold a "food"--yes, I realize cheese is mold, but "bleu cheese" is merely an expression. Actual mold (like that you find in the fridge) makes you sick. That's not food.
Any ideas?

We want the blue food!

Your question was originally a bit by the comedian George Carlin.

blueberries look blue to me.

edit. blue corn!

re edit. dammit, i was beat.

Some flower petals are edible, blue. And blueberries ARE blue! a very dark hue.

i agree with bandelie?

Other than liquid blue algae ( a superfood that contains loads of vitamins and minerals), I'm stumped.

blue berries look blue to me also..
black berries look blue also
there is blue corn (from Mexico, haven't you seen the blue corn chips)
there are rare blue potatoes in Asia..
but normally blue is not a normal occurring color in edible foods. (might be some edible flowers that are blue)
in history.. blue, black, or purple was looked upon by hunter/gatherers as spoiled food...
scientists also say that blue is an appetite suppressant.. if you eat on blue plates or use a soft blue color in your kitchen etc, you will eat less
(here goes my trial.. I'm going to start using blue plates now)

welllll
if blueberries are purple...
then i guess they need to call them purpleberries dont you?
PERSONALLY
i think they're INDIGO.
but...
maybe.......
blue colors are a signal that the food is POISONOUS!!

blue corn chips are blue.
purple cabbage turns blue if its cooked and refrigerated does that count?
And some potato's have blue on them.
Actually if theres blue corn chips then there is blue corn.

you suck Hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaaha...

There are blue potatoes.
