Organic cinnamon ground from Ceylon in Sri Lanka (Cinnamomum verum, synonym: Cinnamomum zeylanicum) is a sweet, full-bodied aromatic flavoring. It is made from the inner bark of the cinnamon tree's shoots. Organic cinnamon from Ceylon is the highest quality cinnamon and is used only by the best chefs.

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

The main difference between this organic Ceylon cinnamon and cassia (Cinnamomum cassia) is the coumarin content. Cassia contains approximately 2 to 5 grams of coumarin, while Ceylon cinnamon contains only about 0.015 grams. Our organic Ceylon cinnamon is analyzed for coumarin content to ensure the highest quality cinnamon.

Genuine organic Ceylon cinnamon has a softer, slightly more complex, and milder flavor than cassia. Cinnamon is recognizable by its tightly coiled tubes, while cassia is usually slightly thicker and hollow. Cassia's deep, full flavor complements savory dishes, while the finer Ceylon cinnamon pairs better with sweets (e.g., desserts).
