Dalchini

Scientific Name:

Cinnamomum zeylanicum

Preferring well-drained, slightly acidic soil, full sun to partial shade, and moderate watering, dalchini attracts pollinators like bees. It provides shelter for birds and small insects, contributing to biodiversity in tropical and subtropical forests. The bark is harvested and dried to make cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon, widely used in cooking, baking, and beverages for its distinct warm, sweet flavor.
