New! ORGANIC CEYLON (TRUE) CINNAMON STICKS (3oz)

3 oz.

Cinnamon is a powerhouse of phytochemicals, and is one of the richest sources of antioxidants found in the world. However what most people don’t realize is that if you live in the US or Europe, is that the cinnamon powder in your pantry is most likely Cassia and not true Ceylon Cinnamon. Cassia, mainly from China, commercially branded as Cinnamon, is widely sold in US, Canadian and European supermarkets, and has high levels of a substance called coumarin. Coumarin in high doses can cause liver damage failure.

The biggest advantage of Ceylon (true) Cinnamon is ultra-low coumarin levels. For people who take cinnamon on a daily basis, Ceylon Cinnamon is the best choice!

Ceylon Cinnamon sticks are soft, crumbly, and rolled like cigars, with layers of soft, brittle cinnamon bark. All other cinnamon sticks look like Cassia Cinnamon sticks and tend to be hard, hollow, and have only one rolled or curled layer. Ceylon Cinnamon is lighter in color, while other cinnamon tends to be darker in color.
