What is Ceylon True Cinnamon?
Cinnamon sticks are a versatile and flavorful spice that can be used in a variety of dishes, from sweet to savory. They are made from the inner bark of the cinnamon tree, and have a warm, sweet aroma and a slightly spicy flavor.
Cinnamon sticks can be used to add flavor to hot beverages, curries, stews, and other dishes. They can also be used to poach fruit or make applesauce, rice pudding, and oatmeal.
In addition to their culinary uses, cinnamon sticks have a number of potential health benefits. They are a good source of antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties. Cinnamon sticks have also been shown to help regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity.
When choosing cinnamon sticks, it is important to look for Ceylon cinnamon, which is also known as true cinnamon. Ceylon cinnamon has a lower coumarin content than cassia cinnamon, which is the more common type of cinnamon found in grocery stores. Coumarin is a compound that can be harmful to the liver in high doses.
