Ceylon Cinnamon – 100g

Once more expensive than gold, cinnamon has long been a treasured spice. But, not all cinnamon is equal and we wanted to provide a flavourful, organically-grown cinnamon. Our Ceylon Cinnamon powder sourced from Sri Lanka has a beautiful aroma and sweet flavour and is free from fillers, additives and preservatives and is not irridiated (a process that uses radiation to kill bacteria and extend the shelf life of food). You’ve probably seen Cinnamon Cassia at the local supermarket – it is darker in colour and has a more bitter flavour. Cinnamon Verum or Ceylon Cinnamon is lighter in flavour and has a sweeter aroma and flavour. Cinnamon Cassia also contains larger quantities of coumarin, a naturally-occurring compound, which in excessive quantities may have unpleasant effects. The European Commission has a maximum limit of 2mg/kg of coumarin in food and beverages. Cinnamon is produced by drying the inner bark of the cinnamon tree and grinding it into a powder. Our Cinnamon powder is packed immediately after this process to maintain its oils.
