What are the benefits of Ceylon Cinnamon?

• Digestion: Ceylon Cinnamon is highly valued for its digestive benefits. It has traditionally been used to help support intestinal comfort.

• A true concentrate of antioxidants such as flavonoids and polyphenols, Ceylon Cinnamon is ideal for complementing a healthy and balanced diet.

• According to several studies, cinnamon may help support normal blood sugar balance as part of a varied and balanced diet. A daily intake of around 2 to 3 g with meals is therefore recommended.*

• A warm and comforting flavour: Cinnamon powder enhances both sweet and savoury recipes with its warm, aromatic notes. It is delicious in carrot cake, gingerbread, cinnamon rolls, baked apples and many other desserts. It is also perfect in hot drinks such as lattes and herbal infusions, adding a warm, delicately sweet flavour.

• This Ceylon Cinnamon, or Cinnamomum zeylanicum, is what is known as “true cinnamon”. It has a warm, mild, and distinctive flavour that should not be confused with Chinese Cinnamon, which has a stronger and less delicate taste.

Here are a few ideas for incorporating Ceylon Cinnamon into your diet:

• Stir it into a hot drink to enhance hot chocolate or coffee.

• Add 1 teaspoon to your porridge, chia pudding or breakfast bowl for an easy way to enjoy it every day.

• Sprinkle it over apple tarts or incorporate it into recipes such as carrot cake, apple strudel, brioche and other pastries.

• Add it to your favourite winter latte, such as a pumpkin spice latte, for a warm and comforting drink.

• Mix a little into yoghurt or fromage frais for a naturally flavourful alternative to added sugar.

• Stir a little into your pancake batter for a warm, comforting and energising breakfast.

• 100% pure Cinnamomum zeylanicum, “true cinnamon”: Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum or Cinnamomum verum) and Chinese Cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia) are two distinct cinnamon varieties.Often referred to as “true cinnamon,” Ceylon Cinnamon generally comes from Madagascar, Sri Lanka, or Tanzania and is prized for its mild, delicate, and aromatic flavour. In contrast, Chinese Cinnamon has a stronger, more pungent taste and a thicker, rougher bark. Ceylon Cinnamon is generally considered a preferred choice due to its very low coumarin content. Coumarin is a naturally occurring compound found in higher amounts in Chinese Cinnamon powder and may be harmful to the liver when consumed in high quantities. Ceylon Cinnamon also contains antioxidants, including polyphenols and flavonoids.

• Coumarin content is tested in every batch to ensure safety and prevent any mixing with Chinese Cinnamon. In fact, cinnamon is sometimes sold as “Ceylon Cinnamon” while actually being blended with Chinese Cinnamon, which is less expensive and has a stronger flavour.

• Regular testing to verify quality and safety: pesticides, heavy metals, microbiological quality, and other safety criteria.
