Cinnamon, a beloved spice with a rich history, is derived from the bark of the Cinnamomum tree. While there are different varieties of cinnamon, the most commonly used types are Cinnamomum verum (Ceylon cinnamon) and Cinnamomum cassia (Cassia cinnamon). The life cycle of a cinnamon plant is a fascinating journey that involves several stages, from seed germination to the harvest of the prized cinnamon bark.
