Cinnamon is commonly used in both sweet and savory dishes, as well as in baking, cooking, and beverages. It adds depth and complexity to recipes, ranging from desserts like cinnamon rolls and apple pie to savory dishes like curries and stews. Cinnamon is also prized for its potential health benefits, including its antioxidant properties and ability to help regulate blood sugar levels.
