Blueberries: 👁👄👁

@pollycutter I wanted blue blueberry muffins...

@@Bendigo1 I understand that stinky man doesnt understand

@pollycutter think they dyed the muffins themselves, not the blueberries

When I make blueberry muffins they always turn out slightly blue :) I use a box mix that comes with a can of blueberries in juice, the mix says to drain and rinse them, but I don't rinse. Some of the purple blueberry juice mixes in with the batter, and when it bakes it reacts with the baking soda and turns blue! Fun science :)

I love thisninfo

I don't buy this description. The blue sky and the green of grass/leaves is very different. Surely their language was able to distinguish between those colors early on.

Lol the bluest green sounds like some legalese bs instead of just replacing all the blue lights with geeen

@@learninguser8229 no they didn't, we only name thinggs when it's useful, if you live your whole life with the sky been the only blue thing you ever see, it's kinda pointless to create a name just for the color of the sky, in the rare occasion that you'd need to differentiate between them you could just say something like 空の色 (sky color), the ancient Greeks also didn't have a name for Blue, in the Odyssey the sea is describer as having "the color of wine"

@@learninguser8229 It depends on the culture and language. In East-Asian cultures and languages, blue and green are seen as part of the same group. Obviously, there is visual difference between green and blue but people speaking those languages and with those culture see them as shades of the same colour. It's the same for English speakers. People who speak English tend to group yellow and red colours together. Even though, they are distinct colours, English speakers tend to see them as part of a group and consider them shades of the same group. That's why before the word "orange" ever came to be, people called that colour "yellow-red" or "red-yellow". And it's not only East Asian, and English Western cultures. Other cultures group colours differently. As the video did say: "blue is just a concept invented by humans". Blue is not specific to 1 shade, it is a name of a group of bluish shades of colour. There could be ultramarine blue, indigo blue, dark blue, light blue, aqua, turquoise etc. If English culture and language developed differently, we'd have different ways to categorize our perception of colours. Maybe we'll group yellow and browns together and call that group by a single colour name, maybe we'll group pink and red together and call that by a single name etc.

There is an old George Carlin bit asking "Where is the blue food?"

He makes what he wants

Science at it's prime. Ask stuff no one asked for and make gold doing so

People need to ask others for everything these days..

Agreed lol. Its what makes all artists great. (Yes a content creator is definitely and artist in more than 1 way,) because he makes what he is passionate about. The best work comes from what ppl personally feel like making and Adam shows this by being the best foodtuber out there. He supplies according to what HE wants, not to what his audience demands.

Standard practice in the food industry, really. That was a good show, too.

It’s still a thing in the food industry. If you ever had a piece of plastic in your cat or dog food, it’s also always blue.

have u seen chef

Blue does exist as a food colour, albeit rare. It is extensively used in SE Asia, extracted from the blue pea flower which grows wild here. Also known as butterfly pea or Asian pigeonwing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clitoria_ternatea

No it was a little green but not really

If you watch his video about how cameras lie when it comes to filming food, you can see why the video might be one way but his in person perception is (and ours would be) another.

I'm colorblind and it didn't look very green to me. You might want to take an online test and get a color detector app for your phone. They're free, and they do help.

Can you drink that blue wine afterwards?

@@nicksucks8396Should be fine to drink as long as you don't go overboard with the alkalinity. It will most likely taste horrible though.

@@morristgh damn I really wanted drinkable red now blue wine.

@@nicksucks8396 wine is naturally acidic, so in the process of turning it bitter you would potentially make it rather salty. Baking soda is often put into acidic foods for various reasons (such as leavening), so it should be safe to drink. Might be able to build a cocktail around that but I don't know if it would be worth it. Just get a nice Créme de Violette (like Rotheman & Winters) and call it good.

@@Banom7a Fun fact: One species of horseshoe crab contains tetrodotoxin, so eating the wrong kind can kill you.

Yea this also applies to people with Blue eye

That’s also not true in all cases, it’s blue due to structural color, rather than pigmentation. But genuine blue pigmentation exists in nature, it’s just very rare. Not all colors come from what an animal eats necessarily. Check out certain blue butterflies.

Ramen is made with high pH noodles, so that makes sense! Usually an alkaline salt like sodium carbonate (washing soda) and/or potassium carbonate is used in the pasta itself to make them more slippery and slurpable, and also to give them their characteristic elasticity! So realistically, your ramen was just correct! :)

@@allyenderman1502 Yeah, I used a hambone to make the stock for the ramen so I think that also contributed

Blue might be a social construct, but green is not a creative colour

@@SamothIorio 😂 I was not expecting a “don’t hug me I’m scared” reference in this comment section

It's a misuse of "social construct" though. That actually could apply to the word "blue", but we have a better term for that, which is "language". But, as he went on to point out himself, the wavelengths of light that English-speaking people describe as shades of "blue" don't change, no matter what sound you make with your mouth to describe it. A rose by any other name is still a rose, etc. 99% of the time you see/hear someone use "social construct", they're misusing it. In this case, I don't even get why.

@@blackd0w13 that's interesting! I've never really thought much about that type of thing

@@mariag8806 Had we had more George Carlins in our world, maybe our world wouldn't had become the sad place it is today. I've been thinking lately that the lack of charismatic and wise voices in our societies is really felt in such periods of crisis.

He does do a damn fine segue, doesn't he? Almost as good as Sam Denby.

Lol my mom hates his videos, coz i make her cook the stuff ;D

He talked about it in “Ask Adam”

Those are so cool I remember adding lemon juice and baking soda to see the color change

Flowers aren't really food and the hydrangea were only mentioned to illustrate how anthocyanins bond to metals ions and are also affected by pH through the addition of specific salts to the soil which isn't common practice when growing Clitoria Ternatea. That being said, it's true that it has a stunning colour. Also, please don't call that tea, it's tisane. I'm sure that other real tea enthusiasts can relate to the feeling of dying inside a little bit more each time somebody calls any herbal/floral infusion ''tea''.

Anthocyanin.

@@aragusea my favorite food is purple. not a purple food, just purple.

Yeah but Butterfly Pea Tisane? Doesn't have the recognition factor of 'tea', people might think you're talking about a magical young adult novel or something... on that note if Lauren uses that title I will pursue compensation.

😂😂😂

And blue eyes are completely another story... Blue eyes have no pigment in them, instead it's the nanoscopic structure of the tissue itself that interacts with light. So blue is the intrinsic colour of eyes if there isn't any other colorants present.

You're right xanh* btw

Xanh - can be both green and blue Xanh lá - is green (lá means leaf) Xanh dương - is blue (dương kinda means ocean)

@@Cactus_V or "xanh lam" and "xanh ngọc". I can't really tell the them apart without context.

Its also true with Green apples in Japan. They call them Blue Apples.

Maybe one of them named the cabbage before they cooked it, and they other named it after they cooked it? 😂

@@jackogrady3118 good theory, but I´m pretty sure the answer is no xD

The other ingredients it is cooked with also matter. A lot.

Traditionally Blaukraut is cooked with soda and juniper (basic), while Rotkohl is made with apples and vinegar. But the colour also depends on the soil.

@@justlikejones I wasnt aware that there are different recipes corresponding with the different names, I just thought its a regional distinction. I grew up in Franken, and people there call it Blaukraut, no matter how its cooked, as far as I know.

@@JosephOD Just wait until he starts talking about how you are what you eat, and therefore just a collection of ever changing particles in the shape of you.

@@JosephOD you can get that in his video "what's the point of cooking at home anymore?"

I bet there are even more natural pigments.

This is a quite important fact. For example the color of red kale (anthocyane) and beet root (betalaine) looks very similar but has a biological different background. This can be easily shown by their behavior towards pH shift, showing different colours.

@@FreunddesLumpi does either one of those turn blue by “increasing” acidity?

Same in the Netherlands! Im glad, because some of that stuff is really nasty

That's why we're trying to replace it with natural extracts ;)

woww i have eaten it before but i never noticed it

There’s similar legislation in different parts of the US, and in the past few years some companies made the change to natural colorantsto simplify production. Basically it’s just easier to make your product a standardized way instead of having “fake” blue cereal and “real” blue cereal for different states/regions. I don’t think Froot Loops use blue dye anymore at all.

Good Eats came out in 1999 and Alton Brown himself had a heavy impact on the internet

That makes total sense! Adam has mentioned before that he was inspired by Alton Brown as a young cook, so I bet he’d appreciate the comparison!

My brain during my first ever biochem class, lmfaoooo 😂😭

yeah, i saw a short youtube about the lack of blue in nature and they discussed "blue" birds and butterflies, saying that very thing! they have that iridescent blue color that's more of an "effect" from the microstructures of the feathers or wing scales being at just the right size to match the wavelength of blue this one lepidopterist even showed off the exception to the rule, a butterfly that really did have actual blue pigmentation; it looked like a regular butterfly with light blue paint splotched on the wings, totally different

@@walterw2 I beleive I saw that one too :) There is also a more lengthy one from VSauce2 about rarity of blue in nature

Its crazy how its somehow easier to be blue by having microstructures that use optics to only reflect a particular wavelength than to just make a blue pigment for your feathers/scales/wings. And a fun quirk of this type of blue, if you get the structure wet water fills the spaces instead of air, and since water has a different index of refraction than air the color changes (usually to green) because the effective wavelength in the water is different than in air. (Optics is weird, trust me im an EE that stuff gets to being basically witchcraft)

@@jasonreed7522 one can argue that color of a pigment is also sort of a structural thing, only it's molecular structure. Just a scale issue

@@alexdhomochevsky7904 personally i wouldn't make that argument, pigment "structure" is just chemistry the way that protiens are shape/structure dependent but are just chemistry. I would consider this very different from the biological growth shape to make microstructures such as those that let gecko's climb walls with vanderwals forces or make butterflies wings iridescent blue. One of the consequences of the microstructures vs pigments is that blue dyes are very rare, especially from organic/living sources like flowers or animals.
