Same with red cabbages.

Its a conspiracy by Big Red to profit from infringing on Purple's intellectual property. All the other primary colours are in cahoots. Its time to take down their shadowy cabal.

[-] lseif@sopuli.xyz 26 points 7 months ago

it was named before purple was invented

[-] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 7 points 7 months ago

Ok, so we can never ever change the name.

[-] Lyrl@lemm.ee 6 points 7 months ago

So says Robin Red Breast, the bird with orange belly feathers

[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 7 months ago

Big Blue is doing the same thing with blue grapes. Poor purple...

There was no word for purple back then.

It was taken from us by the Kaiser.

[-] prole@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 months ago

The future is now old man. Free the onion

[-] mokus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 7 months ago

Until you cook them. Then they’re purple-ly clear.

[-] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 27 points 7 months ago

or you cook them with a base, like baking soda, then they turn green

[-] phorq@lemmy.ml 11 points 7 months ago

Is this that "alchemy" thing I've heard so much about?

Template

Not my cleanest work but it's fine if you don't look too close

[-] GoosLife@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Looks great mate, no one would notice if they don't know.

Also I think the template in itself is funny in an anti joke kind of way where you expect him to be protesting something but then he's just holding up an empty piece of cardboard really passionately lol.

[-] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 21 points 7 months ago

They played us for absolute fools...

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 18 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

With this knowledge, we can't left him alive.

- The onion industry, probably.

Anthocyanins

[-] MxM111@kbin.social 6 points 7 months ago

I can. Easily. But then, I have color perception deficiency. But do not luck ability to argue as compensation.

[-] mastefetri@infosec.pub 5 points 7 months ago

They can be purplish in some growth stages but on the whole they are a deep red, a crimson. Unless my eyes are just broken.

[-] Limitless_screaming@kbin.social 11 points 7 months ago

About half of the pictures I see are Purple.

[-] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 5 points 7 months ago

None of those are red. They're all close to red, but none of them are actually red.

[-] wishthane@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

Anthocyanins are responsible for the color and they act as a pH indicator, changing color from bright red in acid to bright blue in basic solutions. Soil acidity could have an impact on their color at harvest, but it also really depends on how you use them. If you put them raw in a salad, they'll probably turn quite red regardless, but it's also quite common to find them as a purple color.
