How Does Cinnamon Grow?! | Maddie Moate

Video Description

Have you ever wondered where cinnamon comes from or how it grows? Greg and I traveled to Sri Lanka and were lucky to visit a cinnamon plantation to find out! Not only did we discover how cinnamon is grown and harvested, but we also learned how cinnamon leaves can be used to make cinnamon leaf oil! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WATCH NEXT: How Do Brussels Sprouts Grow?! https://youtu.be/R6MpZaEn0CM How Does Rice Grow?! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yb4AMwr0vNE ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SKIP TO YOUR FAVOURITE BIT: 00:00 - Intro 01:47 - Arriving at the plantation 02:51 - What does cinnamon look like? 05:12 - Cinnamon Peeling Shed 08:00 - Cinnamon Feathering 08:40 - Cinnamon Drying 10:30 - Drying leaves for leaf oil 11:24 - Cinnamon Leaf Oil Shed 11:40 - Cinnamon Leaf Oil Distillation 13:21 - The filtration sock 14:10 - Cinnamon Leaf oil - The end product! 15:03 - Outro ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you so much to Rupert and all the workers at Top House in Weligama, Sri Lanka.
