Raspberries are Red, Black and Yellow?

Yes, yellow raspberries! I just saw them on a produce shelf at Hawaii Kai Safeway tonight. Never new that they came in that color. According to some sources, they are increasingly becoming a popular gourmet item and no more difficult to cultivate than the red and black varieties.

I think yellow is the new hip color when it comes to fruits. You have yellow kiwi, yellow watermelon, yellow tomato, and now the yellow raspberry. I'm sure there are other common fruits we commonly know to come in a certain color, now sporting a yellow jacket. What would you call a yellow orange?

Of course the yellow banana, a fruit often used in jokes, knew how to be fashionable from the start. Then again there are not so common red and brown variety. They also start off green... a very in color these days with all the environmental and organic activism.

Shout out to Kelvin Ogata, the night manager at Safeway HK! Thanks for the weight training tips! I've got 2 tickets to the gun show for you!
