"Every once in a while, particularly when the first warm breezes of spring start to blow, stories about blue strawberries make the rounds on the internet. As exciting as it might be to swap the color on this symbol of summer, blue strawberries are typically just an April Fools' Day joke."
"A quick search shows plenty of vendors trying to hawk seeds for strawberries and raspberries with this unnatural coloration, even on major e-commerce sites like Amazon. To the savvy shopper, it's clear that the photos have simply been altered to change the color."
"Perhaps to reach broader audiences, strawberry seeds are sold purporting to grow in all sorts of exotic colors, like yellow, purple, and black. However you choose to spend your money, though, you should never buy black strawberries - they simply don't exist."
Blue strawberries and blue raspberries are commonly featured in April Fools' Day jokes and are not real fruits. Despite this, some vendors sell seeds claiming to produce these colors, often using altered images. Many consumers are misled by these listings, leading to negative reviews. Additionally, seeds for strawberries in other exotic colors like yellow, purple, and black are marketed, but black strawberries do not exist. While strawberries can come in various colors, blue is not one of them.
