Cinnamomum zeylanicum

(Lauraceae family)

Some notions of botany

Native to Sri Lanka, the cinnamon tree is a 6- to 12-meter-tall tree grown in other tropical areas, including the West Indies and Madagascar. Its evergreen, oval leaves are glossy green, its flowers are greenish and have an unpleasant odor, and its fruit is a purple, club-shaped berry. Its thick, rough bark is harvested by farmers during the rainy season.

Long considered a treasured spice, a symbol of power and wealth, Ceylon cinnamon is one of the oldest and most widely used spices in the world. It should not be confused with Chinese cinnamon or cassia cinnamon.

A little history…

The term "cinnamon," which appeared in the 12th century, originally meant "reed," probably because of the pipe-like shape of its bark sticks. It appears in the Old Testament (in the Book of Kings), and is cited in many ancient Chinese, Sanskrit, and Egyptian texts.

It was used for its medicinal properties, but also for religious ceremonies and magical rites.

The Greeks and Romans valued it primarily for its aphrodisiac properties, but also used it as a disinfectant.

Brought to France by the Crusaders, like many spices, cinnamon was for a long time a luxury product before its use gradually became more widespread during the Renaissance.
