$\Large\frak{\underline{\underline{Answer:}}}$

Cinnamon is used as an aromatic condiment and flavoring agent in various foods such as cuisines, sweets, snacks etc. The main component cinnamaldehyde and other essential oils are responsible for its sweet fragrance. It is usually available as mid brown color stick roll or powder form. The trees from genus cinnamon are in the family Lauraceae. Very few cinnamon species are grown for spice at commercial level. Cinnamomum verum is considered as true cinnamon native to India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Myanmar while most of the internationally available cinnamon is produced from cinnamomum cassia.
