In the 16th century, Portuguese conquerors discovered Ceylon cinnamon in Sri Lanka and introduced this spice to European countries in the 16th and 17th centuries. Ceylon cinnamon,, is extracted from cinnamon Ceylon tree, a wild-growing tree that can reach 10 m in height and grows wild in the forests of Ceylon and South India.
