General Info
Ceylon Cinnamon is a spice obtained from the bark of the small Cinnamomum verum tree. When the bark dries, it forms strips that curl into rolls, called cinnamon sticks. The sticks are used as they are or ground to form cinnamon powder.

Most cinnamon which is found for sale is made of less expensive inferior varieties of cinnamon called Cassia, Korintje and Saigon which have a spicy bitter or pungent taste, a dark brown color and a pungent aroma. Ceylon Cinnamon on the other hand, has a mild sweet taste, a light to medium reddish brown color and a delicate, sweet aroma.

Cinnamon contains high levels of polyphenol antioxidants as well as manganese, fiber, iron and calcium. One teaspoon of cinnamon powder has up to 16% of the U.S. recommended daily allowance for manganese, 5% for fiber, 3% for iron, and 3% for calcium.

Research indicates that cinnamon may be beneficial to overall health, as well as helping to maintain healthy blood sugar levels and healthy immune, heart and nervous systems.
