Description
Cinnamon is a fragrant and versatile spice derived from the inner bark of trees belonging to the genus Cinnamomum. Known for its warm, sweet flavor and aromatic scent, cinnamon is widely used in both sweet and savory dishes across global cuisines. It is available in two primary varieties: Ceylon cinnamon, often referred to as “true cinnamon,” and Cassia cinnamon, which is more commonly used due to its stronger flavor and lower cost.
Cinnamon sticks (also known as quills) are rolled strips of bark, while ground cinnamon is made by grinding the dried bark. This spice is not only prized for its culinary applications in baked goods, beverages, curries, and sauces, but also for its health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Cinnamon has traditionally been used in medicine to help regulate blood sugar, improve digestion, and support overall well-being.
Whether used whole or ground, cinnamon adds a rich depth of flavor and aroma to any dish, making it a staple in kitchens worldwide.
