The spice cinnamon is from the Cinnamomum tree bark. Ceylon and Cassia are the two main types of cinnamon. Cassia is most available for purchase in the grocery store. More frequently, cinnamon is used to flavor dishes. It can also be found in beauty products such as fragrances, bath products, and cosmetics. Touching, breathing, or eating the spice could trigger an allergic reaction in some people.
