blue food
nature’s way of making food attractive is to colour it so that it looks delicious. how many vegetables are green? most of them. how much meat is read? most of it. we expect our food to be in familiar colours.
food companies sometimes need to add colour to their products to make them more natural-looking. margarine, for example, is actually a clear white colour when it’s made. yellow colouring is added to make it look more like butter. we think that it tastes better, although the taste hasn’t changed at all.
the blue colour isn’t often found in natural food. there aren’t any blue vegetables and there isn’t any blue meat. as a result, we don’t have an automatic desire to eat blue food. a million years ago, when our ancestors searched for food blue, purple and black were “ warning “ colours, that the food may be poisonous.
as blue suppresses the appetite, it is used to help a lot of people who want to lose weight. diet specialists advise people to eat off blue plates and to use knives, forks and spoons with blue handles.
we did our own test to see if colouring food blue affects taste and appetite. using natural food colouring, we made some blue biscuits, spaghetti and rice. we divided twenty people into two groups, a and b. group a wore masks. each person had bowls in front of them, one with the natural food and one with the coloured food. the results were clear. most people in group b, the group who could see what they were eating, said that the blue food tasted different to the normal-coloured food. nobody in group a, the group with the mask, noticed any difference in taste. at the end of the test, there were a few biscuits and there was a little pasta left in group a`s bowls, whereas in group b`s, there was a lot of food left, and most of it was blue.
