Cinnamon Ground

Cinnamon is an aromatic and warm spice that is available in two forms – the cinnamon stick (whole) or ground cinnamon powder. The spice is actually obtained from the inner bark of the cinnamon tree. The bark is stripped from the tree and allowed to dry in the sun. Whilst drying, it rolls up into a quill and this is what we know as a cinnamon stick. Some of the quills are then ground down into a power and this is what we know as ground cinnamon.
