Grapes light on fire in the microwave.
Back in 2011, a physicist at the University of Sydney went viral after he placed a grape in the microwave and filmed the fiery aftermath. And oddly enough, scientists couldn't explain the phenomenon until quite recently. A March 2019 study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reported that the fruity fireball occurs as a result of the loose electrons and ions that cluster to form plasma when grapes get hot. (Don't try this at home.)
What the--fascinating! (I'm dying to try it now but I won't.)

Obviously I do not do enough microwave experimentation.
ReplyDeleteIam tempted to try it
ReplyDeleteNext time I get grapes.......seedless, purple, green? Does that make a difference? Bet they don't burn if you poke a little hole in them. Next time I get grapes... Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteI better not tell my grandson or he will try it!
ReplyDeletePut them in the freezer, instead. They are like mini popsicles.
ReplyDeleteI did not know this and probably never would have since I don't put grapes in the microwave.
