Why Are Raspberries Blue?

It's mother nature's best kept secret. Oh yeah - it makes them turn blue! It's not dye.

Anthocyanins in raspberries are the natural pigments responsible for their vibrant red and purple colors. These polyphenols, specifically a type of flavonoid, are also a major source of their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Studies suggest that anthocyanins in raspberries may contribute to various health benefits, including potential anti-cancer effects.
