Or should I say
cinnamons, in the
plural, since 2
types can be
distinguished. But
were you aware that
cinnamon is actually
the bark from a
cinnamon tree?
The type found in
Ceylon - Cinnamomum
Zeylanicum - is
powdery and highly
aromatic, while the
Chinese variety -
Cinnamomum
Obtusifolium var
Cassia - has a
tangier fragrance.
Formerly used
depending on their
aromatic attributes,
these two rival
spices win favor
today on the basis
of less ethereal and
more financial
criteria. |
