Not All Cinnamon Is Created Equal 🌿
Most people don’t realize there are two very different types of cinnamon on the market: Cassia and Ceylon. While they may look and taste similar, their effects on the body are not the same.
Cassia cinnamon
- This is the most common type found in grocery stores.
- Stronger, spicier flavor.
- Contains high levels of coumarin, a compound that can stress the liver when consumed regularly in larger amounts.
- Fine for occasional baking or flavoring, but not ideal for daily wellness use.
Ceylon cinnamon (often called “true cinnamon”)
- Milder, slightly sweet flavor.
- Very low in coumarin, making it safer for consistent use.
- Traditionally used for its supportive benefits related to: Blood sugar balance Digestive comfort Anti-inflammatory support Antioxidant protection
From a wellness perspective, this distinction matters. If you’re adding cinnamon to coffee, smoothies, oatmeal, or supplements daily, Ceylon is the superior choice for long-term health.
My opinion:
Small ingredient choices, made consistently, add up. Switching from cassia to Ceylon cinnamon is a simple upgrade that aligns with a more intentional, body-friendly lifestyle.
If you’re working on metabolic health, energy, or reducing unnecessary toxin load, this is one of those “quiet wins” worth making.
As always, quality matters. Read labels, know your sources, and don’t assume all spices are created equal.
