Kaneel, or cinnamon, is a fragrant spice derived from the inner bark of trees in the Cinnamomum family, native to South Asia and the Middle East. It has a warm, sweet taste and is a staple in both sweet and savory dishes across various cuisines, including Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean cooking. Rich in antioxidants, cinnamon is celebrated for its potential anti-inflammatory and blood sugar-regulating properties. It contains vital nutrients like manganese, calcium, and fiber, though it is typically consumed in small amounts. While cinnamon has health-promoting qualities, excessive consumption—particularly of the common Cassia variety—can lead to adverse effects due to its higher levels of coumarin, a compound that can impact liver health. Moderation is key to enjoying kaneel as part of a balanced diet, whether sprinkled in oatmeal, added to teas, or incorporated into baked goods.
