Cinnamon Sticks 250g
Cinnamon has been mentioned since ancient times, not only in the Bible but also in Egyptian texts. Thousands of years ago, it was widely traded in Europe and Asia by Arab spice traders. Its uniquely sweet and savory taste and warm, refreshing aroma have been used in countless confections, baked goods, perfumes, cosmetics, beverages, and liqueurs. Often referred to as "true cinnamon," sweet cinnamon has a more subtle, delicate, and sweet flavor than the closely related cassia.
Cinnamomum verum is a small evergreen tree native to tropical southern India and Sri Lanka, growing from sea level to almost 3,000 feet. It has been introduced to Madagascar and the Seychelles, where it is extensively cultivated. It belongs to the Laurel or Lauraceae family, a family that includes a variety of genera, from the Mediterranean laurel tree to sassafras, paw-paw, and tropical avocado.
Cinnamon bark has been used in traditional Eastern and Western medicines for thousands of years. It appears in recorded history as far back as 1,700 BC, when it was a component of embalming fluid in ancient Egypt. The Arabs were avid spice traders, supplying the spice to the ancient Romans, Greeks, and Hebrews. These cultures valued cinnamon as a spice. It is believed to have been added to a spiced wine called 'Hippocras.' European explorers considered cinnamon a highly sought-after spice in the 15th and 16th centuries, and by the 17th century, it was a common culinary spice. In the 19th century, cinnamon was widely used to aid digestion. It is an ingredient in 'garam masala,' a spice made of turmeric, cloves, cloves, cumin, and cardamom used in Indian cooking.
In Ayurveda (the traditional Indian healing system), cinnamon is referred to as 'twak.' It is a valuable and multi-purpose herb. According to Ayurvedic practitioner Karta Khalsa, "The typical patient who would benefit from cinnamon is cold, dry, and brittle." Cinnamon is considered a warming herb that stimulates the circulatory system and soothes the digestive system. The essential oil is widely used as a flavoring for soft drinks, baked goods, sauces, confectionery, and liqueurs. Distilled from a mixture of leaves, twigs, and bark, it has skin-sensitizing properties and should be used with caution as a fragrance. Cassia is the most commonly used cinnamon in TCM because it is native to China.
