  1. This site shows all contents of tomato, Lycopersicum esculentum:

    http://www.liberherbarum.com/Minor/UK/PN...

    It lists boron, but no boric acid.

    Most of the boron in the pectin fraction obtained by pectinase treatment was in a free form.

    Compounds of boron incl boric acid burn with a green flame but don`t stain material.
