Cinnamomum zeylanicum (powder and sticks)
Origin: Sri Lanka
Format: powder or bark sticks
The certified organic cinnamon from Terza Luna, has nothing to do with the cinnamon you can find around, an incredible color and taste.
Cinnamon could be one of the oldest spices; its origin seems to be in the island of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). Emperor Shen Nung, to whom the discovery of tea leaf infusion is attributed, was the first to mention it in 2700 BC. Its first traces in the West are found with the Egyptian people who imported it from China. It is mentioned several times in the Bible, especially in Exodus (Ezekiel's Psalm, Exodus 30:23). Its use, like many spices in ancient times, was reserved for the wealthy, the journeys that such goods faced significantly raised the price. Today, fortunately, cinnamon is no longer so expensive. It is obtained from the bark of its tree, like cork. The bark is cut, dried in the sun, and it will curl up in the classic shape that we know. The most famous and commercialized types are two: Chinese cinnamon and Ceylon cinnamon. The latter is the most precious as its aroma is stronger and more persistent.
If we reread and consider the citations of ancient texts, we realize that cinnamon was a spice highly valued for its therapeutic properties. Today, its essential oil is mainly used for this purpose, which has carminative, stimulating qualities, helps to open the airways. It is an excellent antiseptic and antibiotic. The powdered spice according to some studies seems to have beneficial effects for the treatment of dysmenorrhea, increases spermatogenesis, and reduces fasting blood glucose. But its most common use is culinary. It is used for numerous desserts, cookies, and cakes, but also rice and meat. It can be used to season fruits (baked apples and pears) and beverages (punch and sangria).
