Who knew purple green beans + microwave = plasma spark?

Note to self: Do not get lazy and put fresh purple green beans in the microwave! Makes me wonder what other foods I can turn into pyrotechnics? I know grapes will do the same thing, but green beans? I eat micro-waved green beans like they're going out of style! The only difference is, this time they were home-grown, fresh from my apartment window/garden. On a positive note, I suppose that means they are just that much more nutritious.. a quick google search told me that the mineral content was probably high enough to create a spark. Like I needed any more motivation to continue with my quest for urban-farming perfection!
