What country are cinnamon rolls from?The origin
of cinnamon rolls traces back to Sweden, where
-
they gained popularity in the early part of
the 20th century.
-
Following the devastation of World War I,
economies began to recover, and prosperity
-
started to return.
-
This economic resurgence in Sweden allowed
its citizens to afford previously unattainable
-
luxuries, including imported spices like cinnamon,
originally from Sri Lanka and India.
-
After World War II, cinnamon rolls firmly
embedded themselves in Swedish culture, becoming
-
a cherished tradition and a significant part
of their national identity, especially appreciated
-
during the cold, dark winters.
-
Cinnamon rolls are so integral to Swedish
culture that in 1999, Cinnamon Roll Day was
-
established on October 4th by the Home Baking
Council in Sweden.
-
Cinnamon Roll Day encourages the enjoyment
of this delicacy and has achieved recognition
-
globally.
-
Nowadays, Swedes consume an average of 316
cinnamon rolls each year.
