Cinnamon is Ha’adama, as it grows on the ground like other canes[2] and it is common to eat plain when dry.

[2] Cinnamon comes from a tree. Specifically, it’s harvested from the inner bark of trees in the Cinnamomum genus. These evergreen trees grow in tropical regions like Sri Lanka, India, and Southeast Asia. The bark is carefully peeled off, dried, and then rolled into the familiar cinnamon sticks (also called quills) or ground into powder.
