Still working on spinach. I have started the boiling process and will begin counting the nutrients once I have assembled all the conical flasks and got my bunsen burner going.


In the meantime I have discovered that Spinach is highly sensitive to exogenous ethylene.

Accelerated yellowing will result from low levels of ethylene during distribution and short-term storage. Therefore you are not meant to mix loads such as apples, melons and tomatoes with spinach.

Just remember when you next go to the supermaket.

Now what did I do with my chemistry set?
