Powdered cinnamon is a finely ground spice derived from the dried inner bark of cinnamon trees, predominantly of the Cinnamomum verum or Cinnamomum cassia varieties. Known for its warm, sweet, and woody flavor, it is a staple in cuisines across the globe, with roots tracing back to South Asia and the Middle East. Cinnamon is rich in antioxidants and contains compounds like cinnamaldehyde, which may support healthy blood sugar levels and fight inflammation. It is often used to enhance baked goods, beverages, savory dishes, and even traditional medicine practices. While cinnamon offers many health benefits, consuming it in excessive amounts, especially cassia cinnamon, can pose risks due to its coumarin content, which may affect liver health. Moderation is key to enjoying this versatile and aromatic spice as part of a balanced diet.
