They’re in a red netting, obviously!
Grapes, too.
If I pickle them in vinegar, they turn bright pink, if I alkalize them in baking soda, they turn blue, if I cook them slowly in butter they turn a deep brown color.
Red onion skin is part of kids science experiments about PH. I just did that experiment with my kids not long ago.
Pickled red onions are next fucking level. They are so goddamn good its kind of crazy
Leave it to colorblind people to name everything color-related.
as a radical colourblind: colour is a construction of the mind. Colour names make no sense. The only thing that matters is contrast.
Color is in the eyeballs. The proteins in your eyes that react to different wavelengths of light produce the network of colors we see. Your brain processes the image but all the color signals are assigned by your eyes.
I believe there’s even lens tech that can help alter colors so colorblind can differentiate the colors easier if the colorblindness falls into certain variants.
No. They are maroon.
Are you calling me a moron?!
No need to insult them
And maroons are escaped slaves that set up their own communities in the Caribbean.
Really blew my mind when I found out that red onions are just ripe white onions.
That is not true?
Just like a Granny Smith’s will never be a Fuji Apple. A Red Onion will never be a Yellow Onion.
Unless you’re making a joke about peppers. Peppers are the same plant.
WHAT!!
You’re thinking of bell peppers, not onions, they are distinct cultivars.
Shitposting is an artform
Well ya got me, you want your hook back?
Red onions are all RED!
I’ve never seen a red onion only purple but if I ever do see a red onion I guarantee it will not be purple.
BURN HIM!!!
Team ‘red onion is purple’ reporting for duty 🫡 ‘Red’ is just marketing—someone at Big Onion is lying to us.
This is a bot
Blue cheese is almost entirely creamy-offwhite coloured.
It at least has some parts that are a blueish green.
In Japan green onions are called “blue onions”. I do not know why.
Japanese used to have no distinction between blue and green
Most people don’t have the distinction between blue and cyan despite the fact that it is the same distance as red is from yellow. :/
It’s because it’s a less distinct element from blue than red is to yellow. It’s kinda like how someone can tell the difference between a heavy machine and a pistol but they may not be able to tell the difference between a rifle and a shotgun.
Yeah, my three years old kid really debating me about this. Insisting that it’s purple onions. Can’t really argue
And pretty much everything orange is named red.
Green onions are green but not onions!
Not with that attitude
In Japan they’re called blue onions - neither blue nor onions.
