Cinnamon Traditional Cache

Cinnamon is the brown bark of the cinnamon tree, which is available in its dried tubular form known as a quill or as ground powder.

Cinnamon has long been prized for both its flavour and medical properties. Romans used cinnamon to make their strong, bitter wine palatable, Greeks to season meat and vegetable dishes, Arabs in tea, and nearly everyone in baked goods. English nobility hoarded Ceylon cinnamon to flavour breads and puddings.
