Cinnamomum Verum-A Taste of Hearth Cookery

 

After the sugar was beaten & searced for the receipt (recipe) To make Chocolate, an ounce of cinnamon was next.  Since I was making half the receipt, pictured is a half ounce of cinnamon weighed with a stick of Ceylon cinnamon.  There are more than a few varieties of cinnamon and two of them are Cinnamomum cassia and Ceylon cinnamon from Cinnamomum verum trees.  The name Ceylon cinnamon comes from the region they were grown and imported to England-Ceylon (now with the name Sri Lanka).
