As a child the only use I knew was when mother made her Pork Bafat which had cinnamon sticks and also leaves in it.

Yes, cinnamon is a pasty herb that is put into curry and it is most beneficial fro human health and sex but a few people know it on earth. Cinnamon is a warming, sweet and exotic spice that we perhaps associate with cold wintry nights made more pleasant sat by a warm fire and an aroma of cinnamon in the air.
Cinnamon is also one of the main ingredients of mulled wine, a hot, spicy and fruity red wine warmer, most typically served at Christmas time or Bonfire Night.
he spice is actually obtained from the inner bark of the cinnamon tree. The bark is stripped from the tree and allowed to dry in the sun. Whilst drying, it rolls up into a quill and this is what we know as a cinnamon stick. Some of the quills are then ground down into a power and this is what we know as ground cinnamon.
Cinnamon was one of the first spices to be traded between Asia and Europe and the fact that Venetian merchants controlled the entire cinnamon trade in Europe fuelled other European explorers to travel afar in search of other ways of obtaining the precious spice.
