Cinnamon is a spice used in the kitchen, which works to control blood sugar. It also works to reduce the risk of heart attack. Cinnamon is a special kind of wood, which is full of medicinal properties. This is the inner bark (layer) of the stem and branches of a plant called Cinnamon.

We usually know about the same type of cinnamon, which is used in preparing drinks, lentils and vegetables. But cinnamon is mainly of two types. The main difference between these two types of cinnamon is taste.
Usually, the color of wood like cinnamon is used in our houses, the test is more sharp. It is known as the regular cinnamon or cassia. This cinnamon is found comfortably at supermarkets and grocery shops.
Another type of cinnamon is known as Ceylon. Its taste is lighter than cassia. This cinnamon is also known as True Sinaman. Ceylon is used only in certain things and medicines. It is more expensive than cassia.
Cinnamon has been known since remote antiquity. It was imported to Egypt as early as 2000 BCE, but reports that it came from China confuse it with Cassia. The Hebrew Bible makes special mention of the spice several times: the first time Moses is commanded to use both sweet (Hebrew: קִנָּמוֹן qinnāmôn) cinnamon and cassia in holy consecration oil, in Proverbs where the lover’s bed is scented with myrrh, Her clothing was a component of the Cinnamon Ketoret which is used when referring to the scent of Lebanon in a handcraft and cinnamon and Solomon’s song, a song describing the beauty of its beloved, cinnamon scents. Holy incense is described in the Hebrew Bible and the Talmud. In this time when the residence was located in the first and second Jerusalem temple, special incense was presented on the altar. Ketoret was an important component of temple service in Jerusalem. It was so highly invaluable among ancient nations that it was considered as a gift fit for the emperors and also for a deity: the fine inscription is the cinnamon and cassia gift records of Apollo’s temple at Miletus although its sources were kept.
