why do people use the outside color to describe the color of edible plants even when the plants themselves are not that color? For example, all apples are white. Only their peels are different colors, not the apples themselves. It is the same with bananas, cucumbers, and a variety of other edible plants. So why, for instance, if there was an apple with red peels, or a banana with yellow peels, and someone were to ask someone else what color they are, why would the person say the apple is red and the banana is yellow? The apple is NOT red;only the peels are red. And the banana is NOT yellow; only the peels are yellow. But the plants themselves are both white.
