Cinnamon refers to a spice and herbal material extracted from the inner bark of cinnamon trees. It is commonly used in the fields of cooking, seasoning, and herbal medicine. In terms of cooking, cinnamon is widely used to make desserts, pastries, curries, and meat dishes. It can add aroma and a slightly sweet taste to food. In terms of seasoning, cinnamon can also be used to make tea, coffee, and alcohol, providing them with a unique flavor. In addition, in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, cinnamon is considered a beneficial herb for health, often used to promote blood circulation, regulate the digestive system, and alleviate problems such as loss of appetite.

The current development status of the cinnamon industry shows that as of 2022, the overall development of the cinnamon industry is good. Cinnamon, as a commonly used seasoning and herbal material, has a wide range of applications across the country. The specific market size has changed over time, but it is estimated that the global cinnamon market is worth billions of dollars or more.

China is one of the world's largest producers and exporters of cinnamon ground. China's cinnamon ground is mainly produced in Guangxi, Yunnan and other places, and occupies an important share of the global cinnamon ground market. In addition, countries such as India, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka are also important producers and exporters of cinnamon ground. The development of the cinnamon ground industry is attributed to the increasing demand for food seasonings and attention to traditional Chinese medicine. People's increasing interest in natural ingredients and herbs has played a positive role in driving the demand for cinnamon ground.
