Cinnamon is a well-known spice, not only in the culinary field but also as a natural remedy against flu, colds and intestinal viruses.
Already used by the ancient Egyptian and cited by ancient Greek and Roman , cinnamon is a spice with a pronounced and enveloping flavor, at the same time sweet and spicy.
Named the "Spice of kings", Cinnamon with its ancient origins, is still the protagonist of our days.
In the past it represented the symbol of the power of noble and aristocratic classes; even, during banquets, the amount of cinnamon used was proportional to the importance of the guests. Used as a gift for kings and queens, cinnamon was also the basis of the commercial power of Venice, a crossroads and meeting place between the European and Eastern economies.
Tasty and healthy cinnamon comes both in powder and in sticks. This spice is rich in active ingredients that can reduce triglycerides and LDL (bad) cholesterol, and is also a good source of minerals such as manganese, iron and calcium.
Let's find out more about the main benefits of this fragrant spice.

In fact, a couple of grams of this portentous spice in addition to an infusion or tea, also accompanied by fresh ginger, will be enough to reduce fever and cough.

Excellent in herbal teas, you can indulge yourself to savor its characteristic flavor combined with other spices, such as ginger and star anise.
