Cinnamon Ground
An alternative to the sticks, also delicious added to cake mixtures and hot beverages.
Cinnamon is actually the dried bark of certain laurel trees. Cinnamon sticks are made from long pieces of bark that are rolled, pressed and dried. True cinnamon is native to Sri Lanka but elsewhere cinnamon comes from Vietnam, China, Indonesia and Central America. Cinnamon has a sweet, woody fragrance in both ground and stick forms. Its use as a spice dates back thousands of years, and it is still possibly the most common baking spice. Cinnamon is found in cakes, cookies and desserts throughout the world. Cinnamon is also used in savoury chicken and lamb dishes prepared in the Middle East. Ground cinnamon is great with chocolate desserts and drinks, while stick cinnamon is a favourite for flavouring a variety of hot beverages.
