Cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmannii)

One of the oldest spices known to man. It has a strong characteristic aroma and flavor. We may sometimes hear cinnamon refer to as cassia. This term is used to distinguish between the Southeast Asia and the Ceylon type of cinnamon. Almost all of the cinnamon consumed in the United States is derived from trees grown in Southeast Asia. Tripper gets its barks from Korintji in Central Sumatra, Indonesia. Nowadays cinnamon is used to flavor bakery and dairy products, as well as drinks.
