Cinnamon

The inner bark of a tropical evergreen tree is what we have come to know as cinnamon. There are two varieties: Ceylon and cassia. Ceylon cinnamon is lighter in color and has a mild, sweet flavor. Cassia cinnamon is the most common type sold in the U.S. and has a darker color and slight bittersweet flavor.
