And with the added bonus of being certified organic, and providing you are not allergic to any of the ingredients, go ahead and treat yourself, you'll be glad you did.

Hears some interesting things about cinnamon:

Latin Name: Cinnamomum zeylanicum

Plant Family: Lauraceae

Other Names: Sri Lanka Cinnamon, True Cinnamon, Sweet Wood, Cinamonas, Dalchini, Canela, Cannelle Ceylan, Zimt, Kanel, Cannella, Qurfa, Kanellë, Ceylonski Cimet, Seiron-Nikkei, Koritsa, Korytsya & Cây quế.

Description: True cinnamon comes from the bark of an evergreen tree native to Sri Lanka and India which grows to a height of 8-20 metres. The leaves are petiolate, entire, mid green in colour with the underside being a paler green than the upper side, leathery ovate and up to 18cm in length. Young leaves are paler green with a reddish tinge, the leaves have 3-5 longitudinal veins. The 6-petaled flowers are approximately 3mm in diameter, pale yellowy-white in colour and form panicles of blooms which are 5-7cm in length. Flowers give way to fleshy fruits which are ovoid in shape, black in colour when ripe and 1.5-2 cm in length.

Brief History: Cinnamon has been used medicinally for its warming properties and to aid digestion and treat fevers and diarrhoea for centuries. Then in the late 19th century a French microbiologist named Charles Chamberland, a protégé of Louis Pasteur, discovered cinnamons ability to destroy bacteria, at the Pasteur Institute in Paris. The germicidal properties worked on germs of many diseases including malaria and influenza. Ingredients: Inner peeled bark of Cinnamomum zeylanicum.

Allergy Advice: Cinnamon contains a naturally occurring source of salicylates and is best avoided by people eating a salicylate free diet.
