- Description
- Cinnamon is the dried bark of the cinnamon tree. It is one of the world's oldest spices. Their are written references to it found dated as
far back as 2800 B.C. There are about 100 species of cinnamon trees, but the two commercial varieties are Ceylon Cinnamon (or "true" cinnamon)
and Chinese Cinnamon, which is the less expensive cinnamon that dominates the North American market.
- Preparation and Serving
- Cinnamon is sold in powder and stick form and also as an essential oil. Ground cinnamon has a stronger flavor than sticks, but doesn't keep as long.
It can be used in many different recipes.
