00:00:19,500 --> 00:00:23,700
Welcome back to my channel Tamil Trekker.

00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,400

We have to go to the simcard place

13
00:00:58,100 --> 00:01:02,900

00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,800
I have come to the market

15

19
00:01:27,500 --> 00:01:32,300
This where we got the simcard

20
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:37,200
If we go straight we'll reach the bus stand

I am Bhuvani

70
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:42,200
I will take you around here and show you 
the place

71
00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:47,100
Spice tour is very famous here in Zanzibar

72
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:52,000
Come and see this fruit. How do you know 
this fruit?

73
00:05:52,100 --> 00:05:56,900
We grow it in India

74
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,800
We eat it a lot. You need to cut this in 
the shape

75
00:06:01,900 --> 00:06:06,700
It will be like a star. You can also make 
juice.

76
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:11,600
For decoration

77
00:06:11,700 --> 00:06:16,500
You can eat this right. Yeah

78
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:21,400
It tastes like orange. Yeah it is little 
sour

79
00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:26,300
It tastes so different

80
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:31,200
Kind of lemon, orange and apple mixed

81
00:06:31,300 --> 00:06:36,100


82
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:41,000
What is it?

83
00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:45,900
This is cardamon. Elachi.

84
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,800
This is cardamon plant

85
00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:55,700
You have to grow under the tree like this

86
00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,600
This is the stem, white flower and green 
leaves.

87
00:07:00,700 --> 00:07:05,500
We leave it and when it is brown we collect

88
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:10,400
Not green colour. It is brown

89
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:15,300
Cardamon coffee. Yeah, we have in India

90
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:20,200
Curry masala, gram masala, chicken masala

91
00:07:20,300 --> 00:07:25,100
Any kind of masala this is the king

92
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:30,000
So, here we have the tree with big leaves. 
You know what it is?

93
00:07:30,100 --> 00:07:34,900
Teak wood. They makes boats

94
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,800
You can make windows, doors.

95
00:07:39,900 --> 00:07:44,700
It will grow big like this

96
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,600
We have it for more than 20 years

97
00:07:49,700 --> 00:07:54,500
It will grow big this teak

98
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,400
Look at this. Is this pineapple?

99
00:07:59,500 --> 00:08:04,300
Looks like pineapple but not pineapple. Aloe 
vera

100
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:09,200
Yeah. It is aloe vera. Good for skin. Good 
for juice

101
00:08:09,300 --> 00:08:14,100
Aloe vera cream. Do you make juice? In India, 
it is available

102
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:19,000
I haven't tried. It is good

103
00:08:19,100 --> 00:08:23,900
We have three types of pepper in Zanzibar. 
Green, white and

104
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,800
black pepper. All we get from the same plant

105
00:08:28,900 --> 00:08:33,700
When you want green, we take it green put 
in water and boil for 3 to 4 mins

106
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:38,600
and dry it. They are green pepper

107
00:08:38,700 --> 00:08:43,500
To get white we remove the skin

108
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:48,400
and then you dry, you get white pepper

109
00:08:48,500 --> 00:08:53,300
That is why white pepper similar to coriander.

110
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:58,200
Without boiling if you dry the green pepper 
you get black pepper

111
00:08:58,300 --> 00:09:03,100
That is black pepper

112
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:08,000
These are all same taste but black is stronger

113
00:09:08,100 --> 00:09:12,900
Yeah you can put in Pilli manga

114
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,800
Pilli pilli is called chilli

115
00:09:17,900 --> 00:09:22,700
Pilli pilli manga means black pepper itseems.

116
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,600


117
00:09:27,700 --> 00:09:32,500
See how much they are earning by giving tour 
of the farm

118
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:37,400
These are the leaves. Smell it

119
00:09:37,500 --> 00:09:42,300
Curry leaves? We call it curry leaves only

120
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:47,200
No. I know curry leaves.

121
00:09:47,300 --> 00:09:52,100
This is used for biryani. Cardamon leaves? 
Forgot the name

122
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:57,000
It is called tach

123
00:09:57,100 --> 00:10:01,900
This is cinnamon

124
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,800
Yeah. It is cinnamon

125
00:10:06,900 --> 00:10:11,700


126
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:16,600
You can see

127
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:21,500
It smells so nice

128
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:26,400
Eat this. It will be sweet

129
00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:31,300
Yeah. It is sweet

130
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:36,200
This is the nature stuff. We don't use chemical

131
00:10:36,300 --> 00:10:41,100
We use only cow dung

132
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:46,000
This is cinnamon. But the real one is the 
park and skin

133
00:10:46,100 --> 00:10:50,900
You can remove the skin like this and after 
6 months it grows back again

134
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,800
It grows back

135
00:10:55,900 --> 00:11:00,700
This tree can survive upto 25 years

136
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:05,600
It can grow back by itself

137
00:11:05,700 --> 00:11:10,500
It automatically hold. Yeah. It is queen 
of spice

138
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:15,400
They remove the bark once in 6 month itseems

139
00:11:15,500 --> 00:11:20,300
It grows back itseems.

140
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:25,200
If you try, this bark curls itself.

141
00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:30,100
It holds automatically

142
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:35,000
This is the root

143
00:11:35,100 --> 00:11:39,900
We can eat it

144
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,800
It is so nice

145
00:11:44,900 --> 00:11:49,700
The smell is so sweet

146
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:54,600
It smells just like vicks

147
00:11:54,700 --> 00:11:59,500
They make vicks from this only. Yeah it is 
like eucalyptus

148
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,400
We use like vicks only. Take this put it 
in coconut oil when you get flu

149
00:12:04,500 --> 00:12:09,300
and rub it all over the chest

150
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:14,200
This they found here only. From cinnamon 
roots

151
00:12:14,300 --> 00:12:19,100
They are looting money. It is just like vicks

152
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:24,000
From cinnamon we use everything

153
00:12:24,100 --> 00:12:28,900
We use it for firewood. It gives very strong 
smell

154
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,800
I like this one. I will keep in my pockets

155
00:12:33,900 --> 00:12:38,700
If you have cinnamon tree in your home try 
this

156
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:43,600
It is so nice.

157
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:48,500
You know what this is? Grass

158
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:53,400
Lemon grass. I know this

159
00:12:53,500 --> 00:12:58,300
The smell is lemon but it is grass

160
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:03,200
This is smell in India.

161
00:13:03,300 --> 00:13:08,100
We called this chai chai

162
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:13,000
Chai is tea. We use lemon grass to make green 
tea

163
00:13:13,100 --> 00:13:17,900
Also we use lemon grass lotion. You can use 
it on your skin

164
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,800
The mosquito will fly away from you

165
00:13:22,900 --> 00:13:27,700


166
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:32,600
This is turmeric. So fresh

167
00:13:32,700 --> 00:13:37,500
It grows in root like ginger. It is yellow, 
ginger is white

168
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:42,400
Turmeric in Zanzibar we use it as saffron

169
00:13:42,500 --> 00:13:47,300
Saffron is very expensive

170
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:52,200
Now we use to make curry powder

171
00:13:52,300 --> 00:13:57,100
This is also used as antiseptic

172
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:02,000
Used for cuts

173
00:14:02,100 --> 00:14:06,900
In India, it is summer or winter time

174
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,800
Now it is monsoon, rainy season

175
00:14:11,900 --> 00:14:16,700
Okay

176
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:21,600
It is not very cold. It will be like this?

177
00:14:21,700 --> 00:14:26,500
It will be more cold. In Zanzibar this is 
winter time

178
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:31,400
Really? Yeah. It is always hot here

179
00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:36,300
But from july to september it is winter time

180
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:41,200
The temperature is from 29 to 32

181
00:14:41,300 --> 00:14:46,100
After that it will be so cold

182
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:51,000
Zanzibar is very hot

183
00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:55,900


184
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,800
Sunglass

185
00:15:00,900 --> 00:15:05,700
It is funny

186
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:10,600
Looks cool

187
00:15:10,700 --> 00:15:15,500
They have made glass from pineapple leaves

188
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:20,400


189
00:15:20,500 --> 00:15:25,300


190
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:30,200
This is mango tree. Yeah it is mango

191
00:15:30,300 --> 00:15:35,100


192
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:40,000


193
00:15:40,100 --> 00:15:44,900


194
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,800


195
00:15:49,900 --> 00:15:54,700


196
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:59,600


197
00:15:59,700 --> 00:16:04,500


198
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:09,400


199
00:16:09,500 --> 00:16:14,300


200
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:19,200
I know this but

201
00:16:19,300 --> 00:16:24,100
ginger. Yeah

202
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:29,000
It grows from this plant

203
00:16:29,100 --> 00:16:33,900


204
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,800
We call in Ingi

205
00:16:38,900 --> 00:16:43,700
Should I try? Yeah try it

206
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:48,600


207
00:16:48,700 --> 00:16:53,500
So this is the ginger. It grows in the root

208
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:58,400
You put in the ground and after 6 months 
you get one

209
00:16:58,500 --> 00:17:03,300
or two kgs

210
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:08,200
Smell it. Vanilla?

211
00:17:08,300 --> 00:17:13,100
It is so nice

212
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:18,000
This is the vanilla.

213
00:17:18,100 --> 00:17:22,900
It is a parasite. It needs another tree to 
grow.

214
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,800
In zanzibar, we don't have separate plantation. 
We get it from madagaskar

215
00:17:27,900 --> 00:17:32,700
So first it comes as a flower

216
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,600
Then we make pollination using small needle

217
00:17:37,700 --> 00:17:42,500
there no bees here

218
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:47,400
for vanilla we do pollination by hands

219
00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:52,300
They come like green and changes to yellow

220
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:57,200
and then it dries to becomes black like this.

221
00:17:57,300 --> 00:18:02,100
This is the litchi tree. You can see up

222
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:07,000


223
00:18:07,100 --> 00:18:11,900


224
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,800


225
00:18:16,900 --> 00:18:21,700
See how litchi is.. Looks like dragon fruit

226
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:26,600
This is litchi

227
00:18:26,700 --> 00:18:31,500


228
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:36,400
You can eat this

229
00:18:36,500 --> 00:18:41,300
Can we eat green one also?

230
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:46,200
The taste is so nice

231
00:18:46,300 --> 00:18:51,100
Thank you. It is so nice

232
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:56,000
It is very good. First time I am trying this 
one

233
00:18:56,100 --> 00:19:00,900
If you get a chance, try litchi

234
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,800
It is so weird to look, but litchi tastes 
great. The tree is so height

235
00:19:05,900 --> 00:19:10,700
This is cloves

236
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:15,600
I can't smell anything

237
00:19:15,700 --> 00:19:20,500
It is green.

238
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:25,400
Now I can smell

239
00:19:25,500 --> 00:19:30,300
Very good.

240
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:35,200
They won't sell any cloves here. They give 
to government for $6

241
00:19:35,300 --> 00:19:40,100
and they sell outside for $82. See how they 
are cheating

242
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:45,000
They are poor

243
00:19:45,100 --> 00:19:49,900
He will show us how to climb coconut tree 
now.

244
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,800


245
00:19:54,900 --> 00:19:59,700


246
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:04,600


247
00:20:04,700 --> 00:20:09,500


248
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:14,400


249
00:20:14,500 --> 00:20:19,300


250
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:24,200


251
00:20:24,300 --> 00:20:29,100


252
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:34,000
He is cutting coconuts using knife

253
00:20:34,100 --> 00:20:38,900
We use long knives in India

254
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,800
I have to take a bike to return now

255
00:20:43,900 --> 00:20:48,700
I have to go to market, the bus stop

256
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:53,600
I have walked for three acres now

257
00:20:53,700 --> 00:20:58,500


258
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:03,400


259
00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:08,300
Thank you.

260
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:13,200
I can sit in the bus like this

261
00:21:13,300 --> 00:21:18,100
That bus is going. Yeah

262
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:23,000
Thank you. see you. I have got the vehicle

263
00:21:23,100 --> 00:21:27,900
