Description
There are many types of cinnamon, but Ceylon cinnamon, mainly grown in Sri Lanka, is known as ‘true cinnamon’. True cinnamon comes from Sri Lanka, which used to be known as Ceylon. Today, cinnamon can also come from India, Indonesia or Madagascar as Ceylon. Cinnamon trees only grow in the tropics.
Ceylon cinnamon is the best cinnamon and you can recognise it by the fine structure of the bark. Ceylon cinnamon is different from other types of cinnamon. It has a characteristic shape, lighter colour and a delicate flavour.
