Zimt, German for cinnamon, is a spice derived from the inner bark of certain tree species in the genus Cinnamomum. Commonly used in both savory and sweet dishes, cinnamon holds a celebrated place in cuisines worldwide, particularly in European, Middle Eastern, and South Asian cooking. This aromatic spice is rich in antioxidants, such as polyphenols, which may help combat inflammation and support heart health. Cinnamon also has antimicrobial properties and is often linked to improved blood sugar regulation, making it a popular choice for people managing diabetes. However, it’s important to note that excessive consumption of cassia cinnamon, the most common variety, may lead to health risks due to its natural coumarin content. Whether sprinkled on oatmeal, blended into smoothies, or used in baked goods, Zimt enhances flavor while offering a nutrient-packed boost when enjoyed in moderation.
