Cinnamon Ceylon

Known as ‘true cinnamon’ is it grown in Sri Lanka. It is not sweet itself but enhances the sweetness of other ingredients and brings a lovely balance to savory dishes. It has a compound, cinnamaldehyde which is perceived as warm on the palate. It also has a woody, floral quality making it a great partner with other warming spices and benefits from longer cooking times with fat or alcohol. It is milder than Cassia Cinnamon.

Suggested use: Ceylon cinnamon lacks the molecule coumarin which can be hard on the liver. If you like cinnamon in your morning coffee or are using it daily to help balance blood sugar, this is the cinnamon to use.
