Neal,
My experience with supermarket spinach - I havebought it in Australia,
Germany and the USA - is that if it is hydropnically grown it exhibits
lousy rates of photosynthesis and contains very low levels of chloroplast
proteins. My suspicion is that you are really buying expensive water! I
wonder if the varieties are polyploid as well?
