"Through nanotechnology, engineers at MIT in the US have transformed spinach into sensors capable of detecting explosive materials. These plants are then able to wirelessly relay this information back to the scientists. When the spinach roots detect the presence of nitroaromatics in groundwater, a compound often found in explosives like landmines, the carbon nanotubes within the plant leaves emit a signal. This signal is then read by an infrared camera, sending an email alert to the scientists... This experiment is part of a wider field of research which involves engineering electronic components and systems into plants. The technology is known as “plant nanobionics”, and is effectively the process of giving plants new abilities. While the purpose of this experiment was to detect explosives, Strano and other scientists believe it could be used to help warn researchers about pollution and other environmental conditions..." https://www.euronews.com/living/202...ils-and-it-could-warn-us-about-climate-change
If you go to this site https://cronometer.com and you enter 1 cup of spinach cooked from frozen + 1 cup of broccoli cooked from frozen (190g each), you will see you get a lot of your daily vitamins and minerals ~website images removed due to copyright Now someone might say, that does not look that much. Well, u should go here and check - http://whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=43 http://whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=9 Broccoli + Spinach + Whole bread + lean meat = almost everything u need to be healthy ~website images removed due to copyright Really, all that's lacking is vitamin D (which u get from sun) and omega fats That said, I really hope this scientific tool does not affect spinach and its contents, because as you can see, SPINACH is key. If u want a balanced healthy diet, u have to to eat a ton of stuff. But because spinach and broccoli contain so many vitamins and minerals, they ease your burder by a ton. I just eat half to one packet of spinach and broccoli every day in addition to meat and bread or rice etc. And that fills my healthy diet requirements, mostly.
