Cinnamon refers to Cinnamomum Verum or ‘true cinnamon, ‘which is a plant endemic to Sri Lanka. Most other cinnamon (from other countries) is from related species of plants and is called ‘cassia’. It is a spice obtained by making shavings (also known as quills) of the inner bark of the cinnamon plant. The Cinnamon trade has a very long history and records show cinnamon in the spice trade of Egypt as early as 2000BC. Cinnamon is often used to spice up chocolates, desserts, and beverages but also for alcohol flavoring and medicine. 90% of the true cinnamon traded around the world comes from Sri Lanka.
