Product description Wolfberry Organic ground Ceylon cinnamon

Ceylon cinnamon is even described by many top pastry chefs and cooks as the best cinnamon ever. It is added to spice up mainly sweet dishes, baked goods and confectionery. It also plays an important role in fruit preserves. It stimulates appetite, improves digestion and counteracts flatulence.

Cinnamon as a spice is mainly used in the preparation of sweet dishes, in various baked goods and confectionery products or in fruit preserves. Its woody yet sweet taste is perfect for dairy rice, cakes, fruit dumplings or compote. It also goes well with many types of dried fruit. A pinch of cinnamon powder flavours chocolate drinks and coffee. However, it is also used in meat dishes, especially in Oriental and Latin American cuisine.

Characteristics

The first references to cinnamon powder date back to ancient China, 4000 BC. The aromatic bark of the evergreen tropical tree called Cinnamomum zeylanicum (Ceylon cinnamon) growing in Sri Lanka is considered the finest cinnamon in the world. The first crop is harvested two to three years after planting. The bark of the tree peels off and when dried forms characteristic thin coils, the edges of which roll inwards. Cinnamon has an effect on the appetite, refreshes the general health and aids digestion. It is used as a spice either in its original or ground form. It has a spicy-sweet taste and a pleasant aroma, which is mainly due to the cinnamaldehyde compound it contains.
