Meet Ceylon cinnamon—aka true cinnamon—the gentler, sweeter cousin of the common Cassia. 🌀 Quick Overview - Origin: Native to Sri Lanka and parts of India. - Flavor: Sweet, mild, with subtle citrus notes. - Appearance: Soft bark that rolls into delicate, multi-layered quills (Cassia is thicker and rougher). 💪 Health Wins - Antioxidant-rich: Helps combat oxidative stress. - Anti-inflammatory: May reduce inflammation in the body. - Blood sugar support: Linked to improved insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels. - Gentler on the body: Very low coumarin compared to Cassia, making it safer for regular use. 🍴 How to Use It - Baking: Pastries, cookies, cakes. - Savory: Curries, stews, roasted veggies. - Beverages: Teas, coffees, spiced drinks. ⚖️ Myth-Busting - ❌ “All cinnamon is the same.” Nope—Ceylon is lighter, safer, and more complex. - ❌ “Cinnamon is only for desserts.” Wrong again—try it in savory dishes or your morning tea. - ✅ “Ceylon cinnamon is worth the swap.” Absolutely—especially if you use cinnamon daily. 👉 Have you ever tried Ceylon cinnamon yourself?
