Hello.
Do you know that if you take grape to the microwave, you can make some plasma? I think so.

However, on internet is a lot of explanation why does thegrape in microwave produce plasma, but they are not good or they are different. I don't know some official theory.
So, I have a question about your view why does the grape in microwave produce plasma. No links, no internet, only your view, i really was searched it.

I've generated plasma in the laser lab any number of times. From the video, this appears to be a plasma.

Why does it generate a plasma? Not clear to me, and I hate to guess.
