  A Little History of Cinnamon:

​

   Cinnamon is native to Ceylon but in antiquity, the Egyptians, who used it for embalming  believed that it grew according to secret rites, in a mysterious and distant land.

  So, to unravel this mystery, Queen Hatshepsut sent an expedition to this land of Punt, “  country of god  », Present-day Ethiopia and opened the aromatic route.

  It is said that in Rome, the madness for luxury products from India and Sri Lanka, pepper, cinnamon, ginger, pearls, ivories, touched the orgy.

  Among Westerners, the origin of cinnamon and spices in general has long remained a mystery and has been the subject of the wildest speculations.

Some thought it came from Ethiopia. Others believed that it came from the sources of the Nile and that fishermen found rolls of cinnamon in their nets. It was said that large birds would seek cinnamon rolls in an unknown land to build their nests in Arabia. It was not until the end of the 13th  century that Westerners understood that cinnamon was mainly produced in Ceylon and that these crazy stories ceased to be true.

  Cinnamon is  nowadays a world famous spice.

It is also an ancient medicinal herb cited elsewhere in the Torah.  It has long been used in India, and its medicinal use in Egypt and parts of Europe dates back to the fifth century BC.

​

   Harvesting Cinnamon  requires great dexterity.  

  The new branches are cut and stripped of their outer bark. The thin inner bark is incised and delicately peeled off, then scraped by hand and finally dried.

  The "  cinnamon stick  Is formed when the bark dries, first in the shade, then in the sun. In Europe and America, it is mainly used in pastry making, but in India, Sri Lanka and North Africa, it perfumes savory dishes.
