Buy organic Ceylon cinnamon? A good choice. Cinnamon is very tasty and suits both cold and hot dishes. The spice (with the Latin name "cinnamomum verum" - hence the English "cinnamon") is made from the inner bark of shoots from the so-called cinnamon tree. In Western cuisine cinnamon is mainly used as a flavoring in sweet dishes, but there are also savory dishes that cinnamon Ceylon goes well with.

Two main types of cinnamon

Did you know that there are two types of cinnamon: Sri Lanka cinnamon (called 'Ceylon cinnamon' until 1972) and Cassia cinnamon, which originated in China. Ceylon has a richer, milder taste than Cassia cinnamon. That is one of the reasons to buy Ceylon cinnamon. Ceylon cinnamon is light brown in colour and has a special, brittle paper structure. The scent that this form of cinnamon gives off is sweet and is often described as particularly pleasant.

Cinnamon production

Cinnamon is extracted from the inner bark of the Cinnamomum, a shrubby tree. This tree is related to laurel and grows in tropical regions. After the bark is dried, it is rolled into pipes. These pipes are sold in the market as Ceylon cinnamon sticks.

Why buy Ceylon cinnamon?
