Cinnamon

Cinnamon is a warm and aromatic spice that has been cherished for centuries, both for its delightful flavor and its numerous health benefits. Derived from the inner bark of trees belonging to the Cinnamomum genus, this spice has a distinctive sweet and slightly spicy taste that adds depth and richness to a wide range of culinary creations.

One of the most well-known varieties of cinnamon is Cinnamomum cassia, often referred to as “cassia cinnamon.” It is commonly used in many recipes and is known for its robust, bold flavor. Another variety is Cinnamomum verum, often referred to as “true cinnamon” or “Ceylon cinnamon.” This type is milder and slightly sweeter, making it particularly popular for desserts and beverages.
