Fruit and Veg - has a certain fruit or Veg been modified (years ago) to a totally different colour?

For example:



Were Tomatoes originally Blue but because they didnt look appealing they were ALL modified to be grown Red.......



I read this somewhere ages ago but I cant remember what fruit it was about????

Reply:Many years ago, carrotts used to be purple. They were chemically enginneered to be orange.
Reply:If they ever were blue - and I haven't heard of this - I'm not surprised they were modified because if you think about it, nothing we eat is blue
Reply:Carrots used to be various different colours but the orange ones were the ones that got chosen to be cultivated.
