Cinnamon
Cinnamon: warm, spicy and timeless
Cinnamon is one of the world’s best-known spices. Its warm scent and spicy flavor make it a beloved ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes. In Clean and Pure, cinnamon not only enhances the taste, but also complements the natural, plant-based formulation.
Where does cinnamon come from?
Cinnamon is derived from the inner bark of trees in the Cinnamomum genus. The bark is dried, giving it its familiar curled shape. This spice was already used in ancient Egypt and was long considered a luxury product valued for its rarity.
What’s in cinnamon?
Cinnamon naturally contains:
- Cinnamaldehyde – the compound responsible for its distinctive aroma
- Polyphenols – plant-based compounds found in many herbs
- Essential oils – contributing to the intense scent and flavor
Cinnamon is popular not only in cooking, but also in teas, supplements and personal care products.
