Question:

Why do they call a what a red onion Red when its Really Purple in color?

Just wondering why they dont call it purple instead of red..I mean it doesnt look red in color at all..lol


Answers:
Good question for which I have no answer. Just like they say, someone is beet red but beets aren't red, they're purple too. Go figure. :)

I have wondered the same thing before. Lol.

=]

Maybe for the same reason they call a goldfish gold when it's really orange!

haha..thats a good question...

Its Blueish red

Red and blue make purple so I guess they are partly right.
