🌿 What’s the Deal with Ceylon Cinnamon?
Not all cinnamon sticks are created equal. 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.
