Lol....yeah. I thought it was funny how many people dont know what that strange (unused) side of their cheesegrater is for. But hey....gotta learn sometime right.

It comes from peeled tree bark. I love the way cinnamon smells, it is one of my all-time favorite spices!

I agree....my favorite candle is apple cinnamon. I love cinnamon on all sorts of things.

well, I learned a lot about cinnamon just by reading this thread, thanks guys!!! up!

I think the bark comes from new shoots of the cinnamon tree that spring up after tree is cut back to the ground.
