Blowing Up Grapes In The Microwave. And it might have implications for surgery, space travel, and national security. Lit up grapes produce a burst of plasma when microwaved. That spark leads to a cascade of molecules in air losing their electrons as they absorb more microwave energy, producing a blob of light. Here’s the science of what actually causes grapes to spark in a microwave, and how we figured it out. If you were to drop a cut grape into the microwave and heat it, something incredible would happen: The single microwave gets trapped inside the grape, where it bounces back and forth, heating up the grape half from the inside out — just the opposite of how foods normally heat in a microwave. Scientists finally figured out why grapes spark in the microwave. When a grape is cut nearly perfectly. Scientists have now determined that this process occurs because the grapes trap radiation inside. The little fruit would spit out tiny glowing jets that happen to be a weird state of matter.
