Native of Natural offers Premium Cinnamon Bark, the dried inner bark of trees belonging to the genus Cinnamomum. This globally popular spice is cherished for its distinctive warm, sweet, and aromatic flavor, and its active compound, Cinnamaldehyde.
We offer various types of cinnamon bark, including the delicate Ceylon Cinnamon (True Cinnamon) and the more robust Cassia Cinnamon, each prized for different uses due to variations in flavor and Coumarin content. The bark is typically available as whole sticks (quills) or ground powder.
