Everything you need to know about cinnamon

In powder, stick or even essential oils, cinnamon is certainly the most used spice in cooking.

Rich in flavor and scent, cinnamon comes from the cinnamon tree. The bark of the tree is cut into strips and rolled up on itself before being dried. There are 2 varieties of cinnamon, the one native to China, with a rustic and intense taste, and the one native to Madagascar, more delicate in taste with a woody scent (it is also called Ceylon cinnamon).

We invite you to discover this spice in our article this month.
