Cinnamon extract

Cinnamon extract is a flavourful ingredient that comes from the bark of the cinnamon tree. This tree is native to Sri Lanka and other parts of Asia. The extract is widely used in cooking to add a warm, sweet, and slightly spicy taste to dishes.

To make cinnamon extract, the bark of the cinnamon tree is harvested, dried, and then processed to extract the essential oils and flavours. This concentrated form of cinnamon is then commonly mixed with a liquid like alcohol or water to create the extract that can be added to food and drinks.

Cinnamon extract is often included in food labels for its aromatic and slightly sweet flavour. It is commonly found in baked goods like cinnamon rolls, cakes, and pastries, as well as in spice mixes, hot drinks like chai tea, and even savoury dishes like curries and stews to add a hint of warmth and depth to the flavour profile.
