Cinnamon is a very old spice which is mentioned many times in the Old Testament. However, up until the 16th century in the West, only Chinese cinnamon (Cassie) was known. Nevertheless, cinnamon from Ceylon has a finer aroma and today is the kind most traded in western countries. Cinnamon comes from the evergreen cinnamon tree. Cinnamon is not a fruit, but is taken from the inside of the outer bark of the cinnamon tree. In the kitchens of Sri Lanka and India cinnamon is very popular. The spice goes well with beef curries and the fine, spicy smelling rice dishes of the Indian kitchen. It is also used a lot for flavouring tea. Controlled organic cultivation.
