Cinnamon (True)
Description
Also known as "true cinnamon", this species originates from Sri Lanka and contains considerably higher levels of key essential oils than are present in Chinese Cinnamon (AKA Cassia). This premium organic spice shares similar clinical properties as Cassia, without the safety concerns, because it is naturally much lower in coumarins. Read more about organic True Cinnamon.

Background and Use
Cinnamon has been very valuable historically due to its numerous properties and uses. It has played key roles in nutrition, medicine and even in religion, causing it to be the most sought-after spice during the peak of the spice trading era. Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) was the only country that cultivated true Cinnamon at the time. Since Cinnamon was the most desired spice, Sri Lanka was fought over and conquered by many European nations during the 17th Century spice trade era.
