What is CINNAMON?
Chemical properties
The Ceylon cinnamon tree can grow to 10 m. It has long, lanceolated leaves, small flowers in clusters and small fruits.
It is cultivated by extensive pruning (coppicing). Increasingly, significant plantations are available in the Seychilles and in Brazil. The
whole outer bark is peeled from the trees every 2 years; the outer corky layer is removed by careful scraping, and the bark strips are
sun-dried. Cinnamon, commercially known as “Saigon cinnamon,” has superior odor and flavor and is produced from the bark of
trees grown in the Saigon district of Vietnam. Saigon cinnamon is used mainly as a ground spice. Chinese cinnamon or cassia is the
dried bark of C. cassia, a large tree that grows wild in Southeast Asia. The dried inner bark of the shoots of coppiced trees and the
leaves are the parts used. Cinnamon has a somewhat bitter flavor, slightly pungent and burning.
The genus Cinnamomum includes several species of great economic importance with various species or parts of the same plant
producing different and variable products for human use. For detailed description of cinnamon, refer to Burdock (1997).
Occurrence
Cinnamon is found in India, South America, Sri Lanka, and the West Indies.
