Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How is Ceylon Cinnamon different from the regular cinnamon I find at the grocery store?
A: This is the most important question. What’s commonly sold is Cassia Cinnamon, which is fine for occasional use. However, for daily wellness, Ceylon is the clear winner. It’s often called “True Cinnamon” and has a sweeter, more delicate flavor. Crucially, it contains about 250 times less coumarin than Cassia, a natural compound that can be harmful to the liver in high doses. Choosing Ceylon means you can enjoy its benefits every day, safely.

Several studies have shown it can help lower fasting blood sugar levels.

Q4: How can I be sure I’m getting authentic Ceylon Cinnamon?
A: We guarantee authenticity, but you can also see it for yourself. Authentic Ceylon Cinnamon sticks (quills) are made from multiple thin, soft layers of bark rolled into a single stick, resembling a cigar. They are friable and easy to grind. Cassia, in contrast, is usually a single, thick, hard, and hollow roll of bark. The fragrance of Ceylon is also lighter and more floral.

Ceylon cinnamon, derived from the inner bark of Cinnamomum verum trees native to Sri Lanka, stands out among its cinnamon counterparts due to its distinct flavor profile and potent medicinal properties. Rich in bioactive compounds, including cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, and cinnamic acid, Cinnamon possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties that contribute to its health-enhancing effects.

Origin: Srilanka

Cinnamon can be used in many ways in Teas, Honey, Milk, Shakes, Porridges, rice dishes, meat dishes, and cakes
