About Ceylon cinnamon
Ceylon Cinnamon, often called "true cinnamon," originates from Sri Lanka and is prized for its delicate, slightly sweet flavor. Unlike its cousin, Cassia cinnamon, Ceylon is lighter in color and has a softer texture, making it an essential ingredient in traditional South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines as well as in desserts, teas, and curries worldwide. Rich in antioxidants like polyphenols, Ceylon cinnamon may help combat oxidative stress and support heart health. It also contains key compounds like cinnamaldehyde, which has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. With minimal coumarin—a substance that can be harmful in high doses—Ceylon is the safer choice for regular consumption compared to Cassia cinnamon. Low in calories and sugar-free, it’s a nutrient-dense way to add flavor and potential health benefits without detracting from balanced eating habits. However, moderation is key, as excessive consumption in supplemental form might lead to adverse effects.
