Cinnamon

Cinnamomum verum

Where to See It Spice estates and garden plots across the parishes

Cinnamon is the fragrant inner bark of a modest evergreen tree, peeled, dried and curled into the familiar quills. Snap one fresh on an estate tour and the scent is extraordinary. In Grenada it flavours the cocoa tea, the rum punch and the Sunday baking alike, one more thread in the island's spice story.
