Ground cinnamon 250g - VIVIO

Cinnamon is considered one of the most popular and longest-used spices. The ancient Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Indians, and Chinese were enchanted by its flavor. In addition to its undeniable taste, they also valued cinnamon for its unique health properties.
Although this spice is readily available in almost every part of the world, it actually comes from Sri Lanka (specifically Ceylon). However, the plant from which it is obtained is also found in India, China, Thailand, Mauritius, Madagascar, and even some regions of South America, among others. Cinnamon is obtained from the bark of the cinnamon tree—an evergreen tree in the laurel family. We can distinguish many of its species around the world. The most popular among them are Chinese cinnamon, Ceylon cinnamon, and camphor. Most countries use ground cinnamon bark. Interestingly, it becomes bitter with long cooking times, so cinnamon is added near the end of the meal. It is worth knowing that in India, the whole cinnamon bark is used, which is deep-fried to obtain the most intense flavor. Cinnamon is used in a different way in China. There, cinnamon buds are particularly valued because they have a slightly more delicate flavor and aroma.
Ceylon cinnamon bark and its oil are widely used in the modern pharmaceutical industry. An interesting fact is that in ancient times, cinnamon was used as a medicinal remedy not only for the body but also for the soul. It was believed to ward off evil spirits. Furthermore, the ancient Egyptians used this spice in embalming. Ground cinnamon (available in most stores) is characterized by its brown color and spicy aroma.
