Cinnamon is a popular spice made from the inner bark of trees belonging to the genus Cinnamomum. It has a warm, sweet flavor and is often used in both sweet and savory dishes, such as desserts, curries, and beverages. Cinnamon is not only delicious but also has a long history of use in traditional medicine, believed to have various health benefits. There are two main types of cinnamon: Ceylon and Cassia. Ceylon cinnamon, often referred to as "true cinnamon," is more expensive and has a lighter, sweeter taste. In contrast, Cassia cinnamon is more common and has a stronger, spicier flavor. Both types can add a delightful aroma and taste to your cooking!
