White cinnamon is a spice that is popularly used for its delicate flavor and aroma, especially in desserts and baked goods. However, it is not the only term used to refer to this spice. Some alternative names for white cinnamon include Ceylon cinnamon, true cinnamon, and Sri Lankan cinnamon. These synonyms are all derived from the fact that white cinnamon comes from the inner bark of Cinnamomum verum trees, which are native to Sri Lanka and other parts of South Asia. Other synonyms for white cinnamon include Mexican cinnamon, Indian cinnamon, and Vietnamese cinnamon, which all come from different species of cinnamon trees and have slightly varying flavors and aromas.
