Ceylon Cinnamon
CEYLON VERSUS CASSIA
Cinnamon originates from the inner bark of the cinnamon tree. The bark dries into curly segments called “quills” called cinnamon sticks.
Ceylon cinnamon is available in various forms. Most cinnamon supplements on store shelves are the cassia variety. A person may have to call manufacturers to see if the cinnamon they’re getting is Ceylon. With ground cinnamon, it can be hard to tell what kind of cinnamon has been used.
A fine spice supplier or upscale culinary store typically carries powdered Ceylon cinnamon.
Besides powdered cinnamon, Ceylon cinnamon is available in capsules for oral use.
Some people boil cinnamon sticks in water, add honey or lemon, and drink them as tea. Ceylon cinnamon is good for making “cinnamon water.” It doesn’t carry the toxicity risk of cassia cinnamon.
