One of the world's oldest spices, cinnamon is derived from the inner bark of the cinnamon tree. It is commonly available in two forms; cinnamon sticks and ground cinnamon powder. With a wonderful warm and sweet flavour, cinnamon is a delicious ingredient for sweet and savoury dishes alike. Cinnamon has long been recognised for its ability to stimulate the respiratory and circulatory systems as well as to aid digestion.
