About Ground cinnamon

Ground cinnamon, derived from the inner bark of trees belonging to the Cinnamomum genus, is a warm, aromatic spice widely used in both sweet and savory dishes. Originating from regions like Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, it is a staple in many cuisines, including Indian, Middle Eastern, and Western cooking. Rich in antioxidants, cinnamon contains compounds like cinnamaldehyde, which may support heart health, reduce inflammation, and regulate blood sugar levels. It is also a good source of manganese and small amounts of calcium and fiber. Despite its health benefits, excessive consumption should be avoided, as it can lead to adverse effects due to coumarin, a natural compound present in some varieties like cassia cinnamon. Used sparingly, ground cinnamon is a flavorful and health-supportive addition to smoothies, baked goods, curries, and teas.
