Many are familiar with the sweet taste and warm, earthy smell of cinnamon. One can barely move through the supermarket or browse online without seeing this spice sprinkled provocatively atop a yummy beverage, baked good, or meal. What is not well known; however, is that cinnamon is much more than a sense enhancer.
In my latest article, I discuss the various types of cinnamon and how they support wellness. Topics include:
- The differences between the two most popular cinnamons, Ceylon and Cassia.
- The benefits that all types of cinnamons share including balancing blood sugar, cardiometabolic support, and immune health.
- The differences between cinnamon bark oil (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) and cassia oil (Cinnamomum cassia).
- The concerns with a constituent, coumarin, found in cassia.
- Cassia’s usage and safety.
