Canela, commonly known as cinnamon, is a fragrant spice derived from the inner bark of trees belonging to the Cinnamomum genus. Originating from regions like Sri Lanka and southern India, it’s a staple in global cuisines, particularly in baked goods, beverages, and savory dishes in Middle Eastern, Asian, and Mediterranean cooking. Rich in antioxidants, cinnamon is celebrated for its potential anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. It contains manganese, fiber, and trace amounts of calcium and iron. Studies suggest it may support blood sugar regulation and heart health when consumed in moderation. However, excessive intake—particularly of cassia cinnamon—may lead to adverse effects due to its coumarin content, which can impact liver function. Balance is key to enjoying its aromatic flavor while reaping its nutritional benefits.
