Cinnamon is obtained from the inner bark of the tree. The trunks are processed quickly after they are harvested to make sure that they are still wet. After drying in the sun, the bark rolls up into quills, which is the classic shape in which it’s sold in the market. It has a spicy and sweet flavor and a woody aroma. Cinnamon is used in several Asian recipes and is commonly used in baking. This spice is a rich source of calcium, iron, and Vitamin K.
