Organic ground Ceylon cinnamon: true cinnamon

Organic ground cinnamon from Ceylon in Sri Lanka (Cinnamomum verum, synonym: Cinnamomum zeylanicum) is a sweet, richly aromatic flavouring. It is made from the inner bark of the shoots of the cinnamon tree. Ceylon cinnamon is considered the finest quality cinnamon and is therefore a favourite among chefs.

What is the difference between organic Ceylon cinnamon and cassia cinnamon?

The main difference between Ceylon cinnamon and cassia (Cinnamomum cassia) is the coumarin content. Cassia contains approximately 2 to 5 grams of coumarin per kilo, whereas Ceylon cinnamon contains only around 0.015 grams per kilo. Our organic Ceylon cinnamon is analysed for coumarin, so we can be sure of its quality.

True Ceylon cinnamon is softer, milder and slightly more complex in flavour than cassia. You can recognise it by its thin, tightly rolled quills. Cassia is usually thicker and its quills are hollow. The full, robust flavour of cassia suits savoury dishes well, while the finer Ceylon cinnamon pairs better with sweet dishes and desserts.

How to use Ceylon cinnamon

Sprinkle ground Ceylon cinnamon over your breakfast, such as porridge, yoghurt or granola, or use it in apple pie, biscuits, pancakes and rice pudding. Cinnamon is also delicious in hot drinks such as chai or hot chocolate. Fancy something different? In Moroccan and Middle Eastern cuisine, cinnamon is also used in savoury stews.
