why do people use outward appearance to describe the color of edible plants?

Question

why is it that people use outward appearance to describe the color of edible plants even when the plants themselves are not that color? For example, people describe apples as being either red, yellow, or green, when in reality all apples have a white interior and only their outer "skins" are red, yellow, or green. The same is true of banannas, cucumbers, squash, and a variety of other edible plants. So why don't people just describe all of these plants as being white?

Answer 1

It's so you know what I want. If I told you to go get me some white plants at the store, you wouldn't really know what to get. I don't like cucumbers or squash, but I like bananas and apples, so just because there white doesn't mean they taste the same and have the same vitamins. If Oranges are called after their color orange, why aren't bananas called yellows?

Answer 2

Are you implying something? because of the fact I dont think of i'm getting it. yet, here's an answer besides. human beings like type. they do unlike sameness. existence may be SO uninteresting if it is all there grew to become into to it.
