Origin
Cinnamon is derived from the bark of trees belonging to the Cinnamomum genus, primarily Cinnamomum verum (also known as Cinnamomum zeylanicum) and Cinnamomum cassia. These trees are native to regions of Southeast Asia, including Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon), Indonesia, and China. The use of cinnamon dates back thousands of years, and it has been highly valued for its aromatic and medicinal properties. The bark is harvested and dried, then ground into a fine powder or used in its whole form to add a warm and sweet flavor to various dishes and beverages.
