Cinnamomum verum, called true cinnamon tree or Ceylon cinnamon tree, is a small evergreen tree belonging to the family Lauraceae, native to Sri Lanka and southern parts of India.

The inner bark of several other Cinnamomum species is also used to make cinnamon, but Cverum has a more subtle flavor.

It is ideal for adding pungent sweetness to your favorite baked goodies.

Also, a nice complement to vegetable dishes, sauces, curries, puddings, and stewed fruits.
