About Cinnamon
There are two types of cinnamon, one known as “Ceylon” which is the most prized, recognized by its light hazelnut color and its friability. There is also the “Chinese” one, less appreciated, more solid, and darker in color. This spice is available in both powder and stick form. Its typical sweet scent is due to the presence of an essential oil, which is why it acts as a heart stimulant, aids digestion, and has pain-relieving properties. It’s used in cooking to flavor creams and desserts, hot drinks, and in main dishes like braises and stews.
