Cinnamon
Cinnamon is the inner bark of young branches of certain trees belonging to the Lauraceae family. Ceylon cinnamon, also known as cassia or common cinnamon, usually consists of a bundle of pale-colored bark strips twisted together. Chinese cinnamon (also known as cassia or common cinnamon) is formed from thicker layers of bark with brown veins; it is typically rolled into a single layer.
