Ceylon Cinnamon was highly prized for centuries mainly due to its deliciously delicate flavour. Discerning cuisines of the modern world still seek Ceylon Cinnamon despite it being more expensive than the more common varieties of Cinnamon freely available in the international market.

The ready to use Cinnamon comes to you in varying pack sizes to retain its freshness in your kitchen for longer periods.
As Healthline clearly states, ”Not all cinnamon is created equal” and it is Ceylon Cinnamon from the island of Sri Lanka that is identified as ‘True Cinnamon’. As long as the cinnamon supplement contains Ceylon Cinnamon, there is virtually no risk of negative side effects. Cinnamon is a very popular spice with impressive health benefits, but what many do not realize is that there are actually two main types of this spice. Both of them are healthy, but Cassia cinnamon, the most common (and cheaper) variety, contains a toxin that is harmful if consumed in large quantities. It has a stronger flavour than Ceylon cinnamon and 95% of its oil is cinnamaldehyde. Ceylon cinnamon is less common and of higher quality, highly prized spice with only 50–63% of its oil being cinnamaldehyde, which explains its mild flavour, and more importantly, its impressive health benefits with no side effects.
Cinnamon is rich in antioxidants and phytochemicals, and may also offer other health benefits. A 2003 study published in Diabetes Care reports that cinnamon helps control blood sugar, and lowers cholesterol and triglyceride levels in people who have diabetes. According to ‘Authority Nutrition’, cinnamon may also help reduce inflammation and may offer protection against cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Cinnamon is also a delicious way to speed up your metabolism and to lose weight.
