Cinnamon has been used since ancient times.  The country of origin of our cinnamon sticks is Sri Lanka which is top of the line. It was imported to Egypt as early as 2000 BC and was sometimes confused with the herb cassia. It is known as canela in Spanish. The word canela is derived from the Latin word cannella, which means "tube".
