True Ceylon cinnamon is a spice derived from the inside bark of the Cinnamon tree.  When the bark dries, it curls into ‘quills’ or cinnamon sticks. It has a sweeter more delicate flavour than the stronger Cassia cinnamon we are all familiar with!
 
Cinnamon is a deliciously sweet and fragrant spice used in baking and as an aromatic condiment and flavourful addition to a wide variety of cuisines, sweet and savoury dishes, breakfast cereals, smoothies, snack foods, traditional foods, and of course in teas or sprinkled on your coffee or hot chocolate. Who hasn’t enjoyed a delicious cinnamon roll?
 
Now researchers have realised the many health benefits including the effects on diabetes, without causing toxicity to the liver and kidneys. Ceylon Cinnamon contains anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-microbial properties. It enhances antioxidant enzyme activity which means it supports your immune system and health. The scent of cinnamon boosts brain function. Cinnamon also helps regulate blood sugar level!
