Cinnamon is considered one of the most popular and longest-used spices. The ancient Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Indians and Chinese were amazed by its taste. In addition to the undisputed taste, they valued cinnamon for its unique health properties.
Although this spice is easily available in almost all parts of the world, it actually comes from Sri Lanka (specifically Ceylon) em >. However, the plant from which it is obtained is also found in India, China, Thailand, Mauritius, Madagascar and even some regions of South America, among others. Cinnamon is extracted from the bark of the cinnamon tree - an evergreen tree in the laurel family. We can distinguish many of its species in the world. The most popular among them are Chinese cinnamon, Ceylon and camphor. Most countries use ground cinnamon bark. Interestingly, with long cooking times, it becomes bitter. Therefore, cinnamon is added just before the end of the meal. It is worth noting that in India the whole cinnamon bark is used, which is fried to get the most intense aroma. Cinnamon is used in a different way in China. There, cinnamon buds are particularly appreciated because they have a slightly finer taste and aroma.
Ceylon cinnamon bark and the oil derived from it are widely used in the modern pharmaceutical industry. An interesting fact is that in ancient times cinnamon was used as a healing remedy not only related to the body but also to the soul. It was believed that he could ward off evil spirits. In addition, the ancient Egyptians used this spice in embalming. Ground cinnamon (available in most stores) is characterized by its brown color and spicy aroma.
