Cinnamon Bark, Whole

Cinnamon Bark has a warm, sweet flavour with notes of citrus and cloves. The flavour is used around the world in places like the Middle East and India, due to its versatile use in both sweet and savoury dishes.

Unsurprisingly, Cinnamon was highly valued in ancient times, with Arab traders controlling the trade throughout the Mediterranean region. There are mentions of it in Egyptian, Greek and Roman texts.

Used in traditional medicine to treat a variety of conditions, including digestive issues, respiratory problems, and menstrual cramps, Cinnamon is a good source of manganese, iron, and calcium, and has been shown to have potential health benefits, such as lowering blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.

Cinnamon bark is typically used to infuse teas, compotes, mulled wine and even oil before cooking a curry! Try adding a stick or two to tagines and tomato-based stews or use in potpourri to give your home a fresh aroma.
