Finca Educativa Don Juan #2: Other Highlights

Calabash Tree

The fruit (the hanging "balls") is not edible. Instead, due to their spherical shape, they can be hollowed out and used as bowls, cups, containers, ornaments, and even in musical instruments.

Cinnamon Tree

To harvest the cinnamon, you remove the outermost layer of the bark and then grind it to get it into the powder form that you are used to seeing in stores and using on your food.

Cassava Plants

These are the tall skinny ones. Cassava plants produce yuca, a starchy tuber, or root-vegetable, similar to a potato.
