Cinnamon, also known as Ceylon cinnamon or “true” cinnamon, is a spice that comes from the inner bark of trees in the Cinnamomum genus.

Harvested by cutting branches from the trees and stripping off the inner bark.

The bark is then dried and rolled into cinnamon sticks or ground into a fine powder.

Cinnamon uses:
