Which tree has the most famous edible bark?

Quick Answer

The cinnamon tree is the best-known tree for edible bark. True cinnamon comes from the inner bark of Cinnamomum species, especially Cinnamomum verum.

The Full Story

True cinnamon is harvested from the inner bark of the cinnamon tree, most famously Cinnamomum verum, native to Sri Lanka. The bark is peeled, dried, and curls into the familiar cinnamon sticks used in cooking and baking. Unlike many spices that come from seeds or flowers, cinnamon is literally bark. Its use dates back thousands of years in trade and medicine.
