Cinnamon (Darchini) has been used as an ingredient throughout history, dating back as far as Ancient Egypt. It used to be rare and valuable and was regarded as a gift fit for kings.
Cinnamon (Darchini) is made by cutting the stems of cinnamon trees. The inner bark is then extracted and the woody parts removed.
When it dries, it forms strips that curl into rolls, called cinnamon sticks. These sticks can be ground to form Cinnamon (Darchini) powder.
Cinnamon (Darchini) is loaded with powerful antioxidants.
In a study that compared the antioxidant activity of 26 spices, Cinnamon (Darchini) wound up as the clear winner, even outranking “superfoods” like garlic and oregano.
In fact, it is so powerful that Cinnamon (Darchini) can be used as a natural food preservative.
