What colour should a blueberry be inside?
I have been buying them from a supermarket and inside they are white or even green. Is this normal and why does it occur?
Answers: that is the right color!!! when they are baked or cooked, the pigment from the skin seeps in and dyes the inside so thats why it is purpley i work at market basket
it means they arent ripe yet, eat them in a day or two, when fully ripe they are fully blue
same with other fruit, like kiwi, the middle is hard until ripe They should be a lighter shade of blue on the inside. What the guy above me said is correct. If they are any other color than a dark purple or blueish with maybe some red, it means they are not ripe yet. If you place them in a brown paper grocery bag and put them away in a cupboard for a few days they should be good to go. Just remember blueberries are like most other fruits they are picked when they are not ripe because if you pick blue berries when they are ripe and expect to ship them around the world they wouldn't make it to their destination without getting either smashed or turning bad. Good luck. When they're raw they should be greenish on the inside. White is something I have never come across. Cooked they should be dark purple either a kinda clear colour or maybe green if not yet ripe sometimes yellowie I was wondering the same thing! I ate them while they were green though, didn't realise lol
They tasted ok though, but thanks for clearing that up! Glad I'm not the only one who didn't know
