Blueberry Color-Changers! (Cookies that are a science experiment!) 🫐🧪

Get ready for an episode that's both delicious and educational! This week on Cookie Lab, for chocolate chip cookie month, we're whipping up a batch of Blueberry Chip Cookies that are a lot more than just tasty—they're a living science experiment! We're making cookies that double as a pH indicator, and you'll get to see the color change right before your eyes.

Join us as we explore the sweet history of the blueberry, from its wild origins to its place in your favorite desserts. Then, prepare to have your mind blown as we dive into the science of anthocyanins, the compound responsible for the blueberry's incredible color. We'll explain exactly why and how they change color in the presence of acids and bases.

But the learning doesn't stop there! We're also introducing you to the pi bond, a fundamental concept in chemistry that helps explain this colorful phenomenon. You heard it here first on Cookie Lab!

Tune in for a truly mind-bending episode that proves baking isn't just about deliciousness—it's about a little bit of chemistry, too!
