Ceylon Cinnamon, often called "true cinnamon," hails from the island nation of Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon. This cinnamon is prized for its delicate, sweet flavor, which is far less pungent than that of its more common counterpart, Cassia cinnamon. The latter is what most of us are unknowingly consuming when we buy cinnamon off supermarket shelves. Cassia originates from China and other parts of Southeast Asia and possesses a stronger, somewhat harsher taste compared to the subtler notes of Ceylon Cinnamon.
