Cinnamon is a spice obtained from the inner bark of several tree species from the genus Cinnamomum. Cinnamon is used mainly as an aromatic condiment and flavoring additive in a wide variety of cuisines, sweet and savory dishes breakfast cereals snacks, foods, bagels, teas, and traditional foods. The aroma and flavor of cinnamon derive from its essential oil and principal component, cinnamaldehyde as well as numerous other constituents including eugenol. Cinnamon is the name for several species of trees and the commercial spice products that some of them produce. All are members of the genus Cinnamomum in the family Lauraceae. Only a few Cinnamomum species are grown commercially for spice. Cinnamomum verum(AKA Zeeylanicum) known as \"Ceylon cinnamon \" after its origins in Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) is considered to be\" true cinnamon.
