Description

Cinnamomum zeylanicum, also formerly known as Ceylon cinnamon, is the botanical name for the "true cinnamon" variety that hails from Sri Lanka and some parts of India. This cinnamon is renowned for its exceptional flavor profile, which is milder, sweeter, and more nuanced compared to the stronger, more pungent cassia cinnamon. The bark of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree is carefully harvested, dried, and then rolled into thin, soft, multi-layered sticks that can easily be broken into powder or used whole.

This cinnamon is prized for its delicate and aromatic fragrance, with hints of citrus, clove, and sweet wood. It is highly valued in culinary traditions around the world for its ability to enhance both sweet and savory dishes. Aside from its culinary appeal, Cinnamomum zeylanicum is also celebrated for its health benefits, including its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and blood sugar-regulating properties. Additionally, it contains very low levels of coumarin, a compound found in higher concentrations in cassia cinnamon, making it a safer option for regular consumption. With its complex flavor and health benefits, Cinnamomum zeylanicum is often considered the superior cinnamon for both flavor and well-being.
