About Teaspoon cinnamon

Teaspoon Cinnamon, derived from the aromatic bark of trees in the *Cinnamomum* family, is a staple spice with roots in both ancient and modern cuisines. Popular in Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Western culinary traditions, this warm, slightly sweet spice enhances both sweet and savory dishes. Rich in antioxidants, it contains compounds like cinnamaldehyde, which may support anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects. Cinnamon is also a potential aid in blood sugar regulation, making it a popular choice for those managing diabetes or metabolic health. However, regular intake should be moderated, particularly of cassia cinnamon, as it contains coumarin, a naturally occurring compound that can be harmful in large amounts. A single teaspoon of cinnamon is low in calories, fat-free, and offers small amounts of fiber, making it a flavorful addition to a balanced diet when used appropriately.
