The Variety
Cinnamon is the dried bark of the trees in the evergreen family of the genus Cinnamomum. Both the common varieties; Cinnamon & Cassia are from different species of the same genus. Cinnamon is defined as the dried bark of the genus Cinnamomum and it is common usage to call them both “cinnamon”, with a majority of the market being of cassia origin.

Ceylon Cinnamon has a milder, more floral flavour that adds subtle depth to traditional Indian curries.
Cinnamon was highly prized in ancient times and has had documented use through history.
I want all New Zealanders to discover the natural, healthy way to add taste and flavour to food.
