Known as "true cinnamon", Ceylon cinnamon is native to Sri Lanka and southern India. It is made from the inner bark of the Cinnamomum verum tree. Since Ceylon cinnamon is expensive, it is not widely available in the market. An important feature of Ceylon cinnamon is that it contains less coumarin and essential oil than other types of cinnamon. Ceylon cinnamon bark is usually quite soft, slightly dark brown in color and has a slightly sweet taste, less bitter since it contains only 50-63% cinnamic aldehyde compounds. Standard Ceylon cinnamon also has an incredible flavor. If you prepare something with the Ceylon cinnamon recipe, the whole house will be filled with a truly intoxicating aroma.
