Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum / Cinnamomum cassia)
Cinnamon has been prized for its flavor, aroma, and medicinal properties for millennia. It was first harvested in Sri Lanka, where Cinnamomum verum originated, and became a highly sought-after commodity in ancient trade routes. Known as “sweet wood” in early texts, cinnamon was revered by Egyptians for embalming and used as an offering to the gods. In medieval Europe, it was considered a luxury spice, often symbolizing wealth and status. Both Cinnamomum verum (Ceylon cinnamon) and Cinnamomum cassia (Cassia cinnamon) continue to be widely used today in culinary dishes, traditional medicine, and aromatherapy for their warm, uplifting qualities.
