    Plant-human communication is finally here...and it's wonderfully weird. 🥬 Spinach has been engineered to send emails when it finds specific compounds. This tech could be used to detect landmines, pollution, and even upcoming droughts. The ultimate superfood...! In full 👇

    Finally. I was going to scream if spinach insisted on another meeting that should have been an email.

    That explains a lot about my in-box. But the Spinach has also been Tweeting, yes? I heard one of its accounts was blocked after that hate-tweet the Spinach posted about the garden snails. Try for some balance, Spinach!

    I wrote a story about spinach sending emails and woke up to it being one of the top trends on Twitter. I love this bird app. Also it’s a genuinely awesome story. Plants are being nano-engineered to detect landmines, pollution and droughts!
