Cinnamon
Cinnamon (Cinnamomum Verum) is one of the most popular and recognized spices in the world, which is derived from the bark of a number of trees that fall within the Cinnamomum genus. Cinnamon bark has been used for flavouring both sweet and savoury dishes for thousands of years. The cinnamon tree is native to a number of places like Sri Lanka, India, China, and even parts of Africa. “True cinnamon” is the species found in Sri Lanka.
It has been mentioned in classical literature and writings for thousands of years, dating back to the times of ancient Egypt, and is now widely used and known on every continent. While the spice would be used regardless of the benefits, it is still important to understand the extra boost that cinnamon can give to your body.
