Ingredient Overview
Ceylon cinnamon is the aromatic bark of Cinnamomum verum. It has a long culinary history, while concentrated bark extracts are used for their plant constituents as well as their botanical identity.
Ceylon cinnamon extract is made from Cinnamomum verum bark. The thin aromatic bark links Ceylon cinnamon with a long food tradition. A bark extract can concentrate constituents beyond the familiar aroma of the whole spice. This gives cinnamon a role in botanical ingredient development while keeping its species and the harvested bark at the centre of the description.
