Description
Cinnamon is a spice that is found in the bark of certain species of trees within the Cinnamomum genus. It is mainly used as an aromatic spice in cooking, including both sweet and savoury dishes. The use of cinnamon dates back thousands of years. Traditionally, it was used to treat coughing and sore throats and as a digestive aid, and it became a rare and expensive condiment due to its strong aroma and its use as a flavouring in food. The main component of cinnamon is cinnamaldehyde, which is the essential oil that is responsible for the flavour and aroma of cinnamon.
