A sprinkle of cinnamon over your favorite fruit turns your snack into a nutritional powerhouse.
Origin
Cinnamon is a golden brown spice, famous for its unmistakeable zesty aroma with slightly sweet undertones that can enrich desserts and drinks. It dates back thousands of years to the time of the ancient Egyptians, who considered it one of the most valuable spices. Cinnamon can only be grown in Asia since it needs tropical temperatures and high humidity. There are 2 varieties: the more sought-after one comes from Sri Lanka and is known for being delicate enough to crumble with your hands; and the variety from China which has a brighter red color and a more mild flavor.
Cookit
There are almost endless possibilities for cinnamon. Its strong and uncomparable fragrance makes it the magic touch in both sweet and savory recipes: mulled wine, baked apples, cookies, pies, sausages, and more.
