The Real Cinnamon – Ceylon Cinnamon

Description

Ceylon, or “true cinnamon,” is native to Sri Lanka and southern parts of India. It’s made from the inner bark of the Cinnamomum verum tree. Ceylon is tan-brown in color and contains many tight sticks with soft layers. Ceylon cinnamon is less common and has long been prized as a cooking spice. It is quite expensive compared to the more common cassia variety. It’s described as having a delicate and mildly sweet flavor suitable for desserts.
Ceylon has anti-diabetic and blood sugar-lowering effects. Ceylon’s bioactive compounds appear to block a protein called tau from accumulating in the brain, which helps prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
