seed Explanation: On my travels in Sri Lanka, I enjoyed a couple of days stay on a cinnamon plantation and got to learn a lot about how these trees grow and their uses for both culinary and 'aromatic' purposes. Cinnamon trees, whose bark is (painstakingly) turned into cinnamon sticks, bear clusters of dark purple berries. Each berry contains just one cinnamon seed. Here is a good picture of the berries: http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/cinnamon.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinnamomum_verum Cinnamomum verum trees are 10–15 metres (32.8–49.2 feet) tall. The leaves are ovate-oblong in shape, 7–18 cm (2.75–7.1 inches) long. The flowers, which are arranged in panicles, have a greenish color, and have a distinct odor. The fruit is a purple 1-cm berry containing a single seed. http://www.luminescents.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?produ... SCENT:Cinnamon Seed has a warm, spicy scent that is somewhere between clove and cinnamon and is a lighter fragrance than the bark or leaf. It is slightly herbaceous with pepper notes. STRENGTH OF AROMA: Medium PLANT PART: Seeds http://shop.newdirections.com.au/epages/newdirections.sf/?Ob... Botanical name: Cinnamomum zeylanicum Common name: Cinnamon seed Plant part: Seeds Extraction method: Steam distilled |
