Description
Cinnamon is the dried inner bark of various evergreen trees belonging
to the genus Cinnamomum. At harvest, the bark is stripped off and
put in the sun, where it curls into the familiar form called "quills."
Uses
Cinnamon in the ground form is used in baked dishes, with fruits,
and in confections. Cassia is predominant in the spice blends of
the East and Southeast Asia. Cinnamon is used in moles, garam masala,
and berbere.
Origins
Cinnamomum burmannii is primarily imported from Indonesia and is
the most common form of Cinnamon in the United States. Once again,
Vietnam has become the source for Cinnamomun loureirii, referred
to as Saigon Cinnamon, and considered the finest Cinnamon available.
Cinnamomum zeylanicum, grown in Sri Lanka, is actually "true
Cinnamon" but is not widely used in the United States due to
its unique flavor.
Folklore
Cinnamon was one of the first known spices. The Romans believed
Cinnamon's fragrance sacred and burned it at funerals. Because Cinnamon
was one of the first spices sought in the 15th Century European
explorations, some say it indirectly led to the discovery of America.
