True Cinnamon (Ceylon)असली दालचीनी (Asli Dalchini)
Properties
True Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), natively known as Ceylon Cinnamon, is the highest quality cinnamon available. Unlike the hard, thick, dark-brown bark of Cassia, true cinnamon consists of multiple thin, fragile, paper-like layers rolled into a light-brown quill. It has a delicate, sweet, and complex floral flavor with minimal pungency, making it highly sought after for premium desserts, baking, and medicinal use.
