Information about Blue Raspberry

For the R&B singer named Blue Raspberry, see .


Blue raspberry is a common flavor for syrups, candies, and other food items, and contrary to belief is a real fruit.

The blue raspberry flavor, originally derived from blue whitebark raspberry fruit juice, became an artificial designer product in the late 1950s. The flavor is described as somewhere between tangy and sour. It is often accompanied with blue food coloring; the coloring of blue raspberry also helps it to be differentiated from strawberry flavored drinks.

Artificial blue raspberry flavoring has been added to many products, such as: Go-Gurt, ICEE, Dum Dum Pop, Jolly Ranchers, Blue Brainwash, Wild Berry Skittles and Hubba Bubba. The flavor goes by other names, such as Gatorade's "Cool Blue".

Reports have found that the Blue Raspberry has been found in remote parts of Montana, and it is believed to be a cousin of the huckleberry with high concentrations of flavanoids. These reports are being investigated at the time of this writing {source: ah, rm, 2007}
