Cinnamon, Cassia Bark - Daalchini - (दालचीनी)
One of the oldest known and most aromatic spices, cinnamon is the dried inner bark of a tropical evergreen tree. The bark is reddish-brown in color, pungent, sharp tasting, and easily breakable. Cinnamon sticks keep indefinitely, but ground cinnamon loses its flavor more quickly.
