Chew, lick. Suck, swallow. Just eat food, have you ever thought, you have never eaten any blue food! No, didn’t eat.
Not only because of you, most people in the world did not eat. Because, there is no natural food of blue color. The color of the eggplant we eat is purple, not blue. The color of fruit like falsa or jam is not blue at all. Abroad, apart from one or two foods such as blueberries, there is no conventionally prepared blue food item available.

Lakhinder’s body turned ‘poisonous blue’ due to the snake attack. Available poison mulberry is also blue in color. This is how the blue color has become synonymous with poison in social beliefs.
The complex theory of science says that there are reasons for adaptation behind this. Blue light is ideal for plants to make food, i.e. photosynthesis. So the pigment inside the plant absorbs the blue light the most by adapting to long days. At the same time, plants get their blue color from the ‘anthocyanin’ pigment, which has the least role in photosynthesis. Therefore, as a result of adaptation, the presence of that pigment has gradually decreased in the flora of the world.
That is why not only the fruits but also the blue flowers are so few. Even, the touch of blue in the animal’s body is very less. All the food that is seen in blue color around the world is also mainly artificial food. made up Not created by natural law. So the chance of having blue food in your lunch-dinner is ‘Nil’.
