Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between true Ceylon cinnamon and cassia cinnamon?

True Ceylon cinnamon is the dried bark of the perennial tree Cinnamomum zeylanicum and is indigenous to Sri Lanka. Cassia cinnamon is similar in some ways but very different in other ways. Ceylon cinnamon is highly prized, lighter in colour, has ultra-low coumarin levels and a milder, more nuanced flavour. Cassia is much cheaper, has higher coumarin levels and more robust, spicy flavour.

Is true cinnamon healthy?

True Ceylon cinnamon really is a superfood with impressive medicinal benefits including regulating blood sugar, reduces cancer risk, protecting the heart, boosting brain function and protecting against viruses, colds and flu.

Is coumarin bad for you?

True Ceylon cinnamon has ultra-low levels of coumarin, however the more common cassia cinnamon contains higher levels of coumarin. Consuming too much coumarin can lead to liver damage and affect coagulation.

How is cinnamon made?

The small branches of the Cinnamon tree are harvested, skilfully stripped by hand into extremely thin sheets, layered by hand, and then dried.

Does true Ceylon cinnamon taste better than cassia cinnamon?

True Ceylon cinnamon is highly prized for its delicate sweetness, light colour and floral aroma. If fragrance, taste and colour are important to you, true Ceylon cinnamon is the best choice. Always check the label, and if it doesn’t say that its country of origin is Sri Lanka, it is not true Ceylon cinnamon.
