Cinnamon is known for its warm aroma and delicious flavor in cooking, but did you know it also has some surprising uses beyond the kitchen? One of the most fascinating tricks involves using cinnamon with a match to create a stunning result. This little experiment shows just how powerful cinnamon can be when ignited, and the result will leave you amazed!
What Happens When You Put a Match in Cinnamon?
Cinnamon, especially ground cinnamon, is flammable due to its fine particles and the oils it contains. When you light a match near cinnamon or sprinkle ground cinnamon on an open flame, you get a quick, surprising burst of fire. This phenomenon happens because cinnamon powder is combustible and can ignite easily when exposed to high heat.
How to Try This at Home:
1. What You Need:
Ground cinnamon
A match or lighter
A small dish or fireproof surface
2. What to Do:
Sprinkle a small amount of ground cinnamon onto a fireproof dish or surface.
Light a match and carefully bring the flame near the cinnamon (be cautious and keep a safe distance!).
Watch as the cinnamon catches fire briefly and creates a mini flame.
3. Safety First!
