Best Answer

The earliest known origin of cinnamon, real cinnamon, is Sri Lanka. It was traded in East Africa and made it's way on the spice caravans to the Middle East and Europe.

Real Sri Lanka cinnamon or Ceylon cinnamon are extremely expensive today, and most of what passes as cinnamon is actually cassia.
