There is absolutely nothing more pleasant than the aroma of fresh cinnamon. A spice that has been valued since ancient times. In the Old Testament it was used as a perfume and one of the ingredients in the anointing oil used by Moses in the Tabernacle. Only in the last century has cinnamon come down in price from being very costly.
Cinnamon comes from the inner bark of the cinnamon tree that grows in Sri Lanka. Cinnamon has a fragrant sweet flavor and must be stored carefully because it easily loses its fragrant aroma. It can be added to oatmeal, fruit salads, rice puddings, nut milks, sweet desserts, yams, squashes and is breath-taking in hot apple cider with cloves, allspice and nutmeg.
Cinnamon is a strong glandular stimulant and was given as a sedative to mothers during childbirth. It is also an antacid for helping upset stomachs and diarrhea. Years ago it was commonly used as a breath sweetener.
