Cinnamon – A spicy gift from nature

Do you sometimes feel like your everyday life could use a little more warmth and inspiration? The same breakfast every morning, the same drinks – at some point, everything tastes the same, and the routine feels bland. Perhaps you're longing for something to enrich your day with a touch of exoticism and a special aroma, but the search for something new can quickly become overwhelming. Cinnamon could be just what you need. Get to know this versatile spice, whose origins and flavor enchant the senses.

The origin and variety of cinnamon

Cinnamon is obtained from the bark of various tree species of the Cinnamomum genus, which grow primarily in tropical regions such as Sri Lanka, India, Madagascar, and Southeast Asia. The two most well-known varieties are Ceylon cinnamon (also called "true cinnamon"), which is cultivated primarily in Sri Lanka, and Cassia cinnamon, which is more robust and originates from China or Indonesia. The bark is peeled by hand, dried, and either rolled into sticks or ground into a fine powder. Cinnamon has been a prized spice for thousands of years—from the ancient Egyptians, who used it for embalming, to the Romans, who valued it as a luxury item.

Exciting facts about cinnamon

Cultural significance: In the Middle Ages, cinnamon was so valuable in Europe that it was traded for more than gold—a sign of its status as an exotic commodity. Natural ingredients: Cinnamon naturally contains essential oils such as cinnamaldehyde, which are responsible for its distinctive aroma, as well as traces of minerals.
