Something you can make with cinnamon
Origin
Cinnamon is derived from the inner bark of trees belonging to the Cinnamomum species, primarily Cinnamomum verum or Cinnamomum cassia. It is native to Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon), but it is also cultivated in other countries such as India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and China. Cinnamon has been used for thousands of years in various cuisines and traditional medicine practices around the world.
