CINNAMON STICKS

I. Introduction

Cinnamon is a spice obtained from the inner bark of several tree species from the genus Cinnamomum. Cinnamon is used mainly as an aromatic condiment and flavouring additive in a wide variety of cuisines, sweet and savoury dishes, breakfast cereals, snackfoods, tea and traditional foods. The aroma and flavour of cinnamon derive from its essential oil and principal component, cinnamaldehyde, as well as numerous other constituents including eugenol.

According to the National Library of Medicine, cinnamon is also a valuable and highly appreciated medicinal herb (considered a medicine), as cinnamon is used to help treat muscle spasms., vomiting, infection, common cold, anorexia, and impotence (ED). Cinnamon may lower blood sugar levels for people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, according to Diabetes An1. However, research that supports this is rare.
