History
Cassia Cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmanni), one of the oldest and most treasured spices, has been traded and utilized for thousands of years. First recorded as early as 1700 BCE in ancient Egypt, it was a key ingredient in embalming rituals and sacred ceremonies. Cassia was highly valued by Arab spice traders, who introduced it to the Romans, Greeks, and Hebrews, where it became a prized culinary and medicinal spice. During the Middle Ages, cassia cinnamon was a sought-after commodity in Europe, influencing the spice trade routes of the 15th and 16th centuries. By the 17th century, it had become a staple in kitchens worldwide. With its deep, spicy aroma and warming properties, cassia has been used in perfumes, incense, and traditional medicine for centuries, remaining a beloved ingredient in global culinary and wellness traditions.
