Harvested from a variety of leafy green trees (Cinnamomum) native in Sri Lanka, this herb has a lot of health benefits to most people who trust its power. In addition to that, cinnamon is the main ingredient in most products such as toothpaste, lipstick, perfumes and cola drinks.

Cinnamon is a very powerful herb that has been in existence for eons of years. Its roots date back to the early Egyptian lifestyle where it was used for medicinal purposes.

Ceylon cinnamon is harvested from evergreen trees found in Sri Lanka, a region that was formerly known as Ceylon. This particular herb is recognized for its characteristic sweet taste and delicate flavor as compared to Cassia cinnamon which is quite bitter and less valuable.
