Did you know that grapes light on fire in the microwave? May studies were conducted to understand the phenomena. Finally, it was discovered that fire takes place because of the loose electrons and ions that come together to form plasma when grapes are heated. Link:
When you make a grape flash, does it give a little whine? Natalie Parletta reports.

Raisins are made by drying different grapes.

Thank you for your comment. I don't think that will be a great idea because heating up grapes can be dangerous as it causes bursting into flames and sending out sparks. Please do not try such experiments at home.

I use the microwave oven very little. And the more I learn about it, the less I want to use it.

I would never put a grape in a microwave, but I suppose this was an interesting experiment.
