I have been used as an ingredient throughout history, since ancient Egypt. In the past, I was rare and precious and considered a little treasure for the kings. My scent is warm and my taste is spicy. Cinnamon bark has been used for hundreds of years as a seasoning and medicine. Naturally low in fat and sugar, I add flavor and spice to foods without adding sugar, fat or calories. Many of the nutritional and medicinal benefits of cinnamon bark are related to my powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
