What is Ceylon Cinnamon?

All cinnamon is harvested from the bark of evergreen trees. Ceylon cinnamon, commonly referred to as “true cinnamon” is harvested from a small tree that is native to Sri Lanka. (“Ceylon” was the older, colonial-era name for Sri Lanka.) Cassia cinnamon hails from Indonesia or China and is darker in color than Ceylon cinnamon. Cassia cinnamon is believed to be the spicier, hotter choice between the two varieties.
