Cinnamomum Tenuipile

Ceylon cinnamon, scientifically known as Cinnamomum tenuipile, is a rare and highly prized spice originating from the tropical regions of Sri Lanka. Unlike its more common counterpart, cassia cinnamon, it possesses a delicate, sweet aroma and a subtle, complex flavor profile. This plant is renowned for its thin, papery bark that curls into tight, fragrant quills when harvested. Its unique characteristics make it a staple in gourmet cooking and traditional medicine. With its rich history and medicinal properties, Ceylon cinnamon continues to captivate both chefs and herbalists worldwide.
