Cinnamon - One of the oldest known spices

Cinnamon has been utilised in various ways for millennia. It has been used in embalming the deceased, as incense, as an aphrodisiac, in aromatherapy, as a spice, and in herbal medicine. As a culinary spice, cinnamon is a true classic that enjoys global popularity. Its distinctive sweet aroma captivates our senses. The bark of cinnamon is highly aromatic; the thinner the bark, the finer the aroma. Its typically sweet and spicy flavour is especially favoured in baked goods like cakes and cookies. According to Ayurveda, cinnamon has properties that are pungent, bitter, and sweet, making it particularly beneficial for the Kapha and Vata doshas.
