Sweet Cinnamon Powder

Cinnamon is a spice obtained from the inner bark of several tree species from the genus Cinnamomum. Cinnamon is used mainly as an aromatic condiment and flavouring additive in a wide variety of cuisines, sweet and savoury dishes, breakfast cereals, snackfoods, tea and traditional foods. The aroma and flavour of cinnamon derive from its essential oil and principal component, cinnamaldehyde, as well as numerous other constituents including eugenol.

Cinnamon is the name for several species of trees and the commercial spice products that some of them produce. In 2018, Indonesia produced 40% of the world's supply of cinnamon. Ground cinnamon is composed of around 11% water, 81% carbohydrates (including 53% dietary fiber), 4% protein and 1% fat.
