Best Answer

For the most part, cinnamon didn't get to America. What is sold in stores as Cinnamon is actually Cassia instead. There is some true cinnamon grown in Mexico, but Mexico also imports a lot of true cinnamon from Sri Lanka. The cinnamon grown in Mexico is a cultivated crop. The plants would have been imported by someone who thought it a profitable crop to raise.
