Cinnamon is one of the most loved and widely used spices out there. It’s also commonly used in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for its digestive-supporting health benefits.
Cinnamon is also an easy spice to add to your diet. From adding it to your favorite muffin recipe to whisking it into your morning cup of coffee, cinnamon can help transform the flavor of many recipes.
It also happens to come with a number of health benefits and makes a great addition to a healthy and balanced diet.

First that I have heard of Cinnamon Bark but will certainly check it out. I do drop a t. of cinnamon in my coffee when brewing. Raised my 2 boys on Rizagalo a Greek Rice Pudding covered with Cinnamon, just super good. Those 2 obys are not 42 and 45.
