Cinnamon is derived from the inner bark of trees belonging to the Cinnamomum family. It is native to Sri Lanka and is also cultivated in various other countries including India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and China. The cinnamon tree is typically grown in tropical regions where the climate is hot and humid. The inner bark is harvested and dried, then ground into a fine powder to create the spice known as ground cinnamon.
