Ceylon Cinnamon - Ground
Native to the island of Sri Lanka, Ground Ceylon Cinnamon, often confused with Cassia Cinnamon, is hailed as the "True Cinnamon". Unlike the spicier and bolder Cassia, Ceylon Cinnamon features a deeply complex yet subtle flavor that is warm and sweet with hints of citrus and cloves, perfect for pastries, cakes and desserts.
It also contains a much lower concentration of cinnamon oil (generally 1-2% by weight), while Cassia cinnamon typically comes in at 2-6% by weight. Because of this, many health enthusiasts swear by the Ceylon variety. Ceylon cinnamon contains anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial effects. These properties mean Ceylon cinnamon supports your immune health. Dash some in your oatmeal or yogurt for a balanced, immunity boosting start to your day.
