Cinnamon is a spice that is made from the inner bark of trees
called Cinnamomum. Cinnamon is made by cutting the stems of the
cinnamomum tree. The inner bark is then extracted and the woody parts
removed from it.When it dries, it forms strips that curl into rolls,
called cinnamon sticks. The sticks can be ground to form cinnamon
powder.There are two types of Cinnamon , Ceylon cinnamon and Cassia
cinnamon.
