Cinnamon is a tree of the laurel family. True cinnamon is obtained from the inner bark of the evergreen tree Cinnamomum zeylanicum. This tree is native to Sri Lanka and the West Indies. Buy thin, sun-dried cinnamon sticks. If you use all cinnamon sticks in chutney or rice dishes, remove them before serving.
Another type of cinnamon, the bark of the Cinnamomum cassia tree, is usually sold in pieces or in powder form (dalchini). This slightly bitter strong-smelling cinnamon, although used very widely, is slightly inferior in quality to the first, with a pleasant taste and sweet aftertaste.
