Cinnamon, a warm and aromatic spice, adds a delightful touch to your culinary creations.
A spice taken from the ground inner bark of a tree native to Sri Lanka.
The outer bark is carefully stripped away to reveal the interior bark which is notably aromatic. The task of peeling the bark is a delicate art that can only be done by hand with the utmost precision.
True cinnamon is derived from the bark of the young shoots of Cinnamomum zeylanicum, which is a large tree of the Lauraceae family.
Cinnamon is a unique plant with essential oils in its leaves, bark, and roots, but their chemical compositions are radically different.
