Native to Sri Lanka, true cinnamon, Cinnamomum zeylanicum, dates back in Chinese writings to 2800 B.C. and is still known as “kwai” in the Cantonese language today. Its botanical name derives from the Hebraic and Arabic term “amomon”, meaning fragrant spice plant. Cinnamon is a highly delicious spice. It has been prized for its medicinal properties for thousands of years. It also boasts a wide range of other health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal and anti-diabetic properties. Cinnamon is packed with a variety of protective antioxidants that reduce free radical damage.
