Cinnamon is the dried bark of the casia and various other laurel trees in the cinnamomun family.  Ground cinnamon is the most common baking spice and is used in cakes, cookies, and desserts throughout the world.  Cinnamon is also used in savory chicken and lamb dishes from the Middle East.  In American cooking, cinnamon is often paired with apples to mellow their tartness and used in numerous other fruit and cereal dishes.

Cinnamon has been popular since ancient times.  Egyptians imported it from China in 2000 BC.  Romans believed cinnamon was sacred and Nero burned a year's supply of the spice at the funeral for his wife.  Finding cinnamon was a primary motive for world exploration in the 15th and 16th centuries.

In the Middle Ages, cinnamon became a status symbol for Europe's elite who used it in meals to impress those around them with their ability to purchase a condiment from the "exotic" East.  At a banquet, a host would offer guests a plate with various spices piled upon it.  The social rank of hosts was revealed by the excess or moderation with which they offered spices to their guests.

Cinnamon is very good with almonds, apples, apricots, bananas, chocolate, coffee, eggplant, lamb, pears, poultry, rice, plums, prumes, meat and poultry, and root vegetables.

For a fragrant pilaf that goes great with Middle Eastern dishes, cook rice in cinnamon flavored broth and stir in chopped dried fruit and toasted nuts.  Cinnamon is a perfect partner for chocolate — use it in any chocolate dessert or drink.

We are delighted to offer cinnamon in four variations: ground cinnamon, cinnamon chips, and cinnamon sticks in six inch and ten inch lengths.

Cinnamon works well with anise, cardamom, cloves, coriander, cumin, ginger, mace, nutmeg, turmeric, and vanilla.
