Description

Cassia Cinnamon is the more common variety today and what people generally refer to as “cinnamon.” It’s a highly delicious spice. It has been prized for its medicinal properties for thousands of years. Modern science has now confirmed what people have known for ages

Cinnamon is a spice created from the inner bark of the Cinnamomum tree.

Strips of the inner bark are dried until they curl into rolls known as cinnamon sticks or quills. These sticks can be ground to form cinnamon powder and are an important part of the Garam Masala mixture. The unique properties of this spice come from its essential oils and compounds, particularly cinnamaldehyde.This compound gives cinnamon its flavor and aroma, and is also responsible for many of its health benefits.
