Delicate, sweet cinnamon with subtle spice and health benefits.

Sweet cinnamon, also lovingly referred to as true cinnamon or Ceylon cinnamon, is cherished for its gentle flavor and subtle sweetness, which makes it a delightful addition to both sweet and savory dishes. Unlike cassia cinnamon, it has lower levels of coumarin, making it a healthier option for everyday enjoyment. Packed with antioxidants, it’s great for supporting heart health and even has wonderful anti-inflammatory properties. You can sprinkle it into everything from cookies to delicious stews and comforting curries!

Details: Certified organic. Origin Sri Lanka.

Note 9/18/2024: Earlier this month, a Consumer Reports article came out regarding high levels of lead in cinnamon from many store-brands. At Gneiss Spice, each harvest of cinnamon is tested for heavy metals in an accredited food-safety lab. The current lead level is 0.38 ppm for Cassia Cinnamon and 0.56 ppm for Ceylon Cinnamon. These results are significantly below the FDA limit of 3 ppm.
