Cinnamon is a millennium-old spice derived from the bark of the cinnamon tree, primarily cultivated in China, Sri Lanka (Ceylon), and Indonesia. Used since antiquity, this spice is renowned for its numerous therapeutic virtues.
Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) and Chinese cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia) are the most popular varieties, but several others exist.
