Ceylon Cinnamon Cinnamomum verum
Want to add the feeling of instant warmth to a recipe? Ceylon Cinnamon is your ingredient. Its flavor is complex with hints of vanilla, warm floral notes, hints of heat and honeyed fruit flavors. Ceylon’s flavors are much more subtly complex than the Cassia’s strong, brash in your face, one note flavor. Ceylon is the ingredient that rounds out the flavor profile without being obvious, gives just the right complexity and has everyone trying to figure out what is that yummy flavor.
Science is also studying Ceylon for its potential health benefits as an anti inflammatory, an anti oxidant and an antimicrobial. While science is taking a look at these specific areas don’t forget Ceylon has also been used traditionally to support immune health and enhance antioxidant enzyme activity.
