Ceylon cinnamon

Ceylon cinnamon, also known as "true cinnamon," is a highly prized spice derived from the inner bark of the Cinnamomum verum tree, which is native to Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon. This variety of cinnamon is distinguished by its delicate, sweet flavor and lighter color compared to the more common Cassia cinnamon. The bark is carefully harvested, dried, and rolled into thin, multi-layered quills or sticks. Ceylon cinnamon is often favored for its subtle aroma and mild taste, making it a popular choice for culinary uses, from baking and desserts to savory dishes. Additionally, it is considered to have various health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Its softer texture and refined flavor profile set it apart, making it a premium ingredient in kitchens around the world.
