Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum or Cinnamomum cassia) is a highly aromatic spice derived from the inner bark of cinnamon trees. It is widely used in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries due to its distinct sweet and spicy flavor. Cinnamon contains essential oils, particularly cinnamaldehyde, which gives it strong antimicrobial and antioxidant properties.
There are two main types of cinnamon: Ceylon Cinnamon (True Cinnamon), known for its delicate, sweet taste and higher price, and Cassia Cinnamon, which has a stronger, more intense flavor. Cinnamon is commonly used in baking, cooking, herbal medicine, and as a natural food preservative.
Indonesian cinnamon is highly regarded in the global market due to its superior quality, rich aroma, and high oil content, making it a preferred choice for spice traders and manufacturers worldwide.
