History/Facts About Cinnamon

Cinnamon has been harvested from the inner bark of trees in the Cinnamomum genus for thousands of years and dates back as far as 4,000 years ago to Ancient Egypt. Cinnamon was considered a very valuable and rare spice at this time and was frequently sold at very high prices and given to royalty as gifts or signs of devotion.

Cinnamon was also mentioned in the Bible numerous times and was noted for its ability to fight illnesses. We have continued learned more about the health benefits of cinnamon as time has gone on, with research now backing up the medicinal claims of cinnamon that ancient populations have known about for centuries.

Today, cinnamon as we know it is made by cutting the stems of the Cinnamomum tree and removing the inner bark, which curls up into cinnamon sticks. These sticks are then ground to make powdery cinnamon spice which is sold and used across the world.

The health benefits of cinnamon can also be obtained in cinnamon extract form, which contains a more concentrated dose of its special compounds and can have some powerful effects on health. Another use for cinnamon is in cinnamon oil, which contains high levels of cinnamon and has numerous uses.
