Ceylon Flavors Organic Real Ceylon Cinnamon sticks special premium grade 3" | Cinnamon sticks - Spice, Cooking & Baking

This is true Ceylon cinnamon, which has a milder taste and scent than Cassia. Until recently, I had no idea that there are two spices sold as cinnamon - cassia and true Ceylon cinnamon from Sri Lanka. The spice used and sold as cinnamon in the USA is Cassia. Although cassia tastes and smells better, I will be using true Ceylon cinnamon from now on for the following reason. My recent lab work revealed decreased kidney function, so I did research to find out what could cause a low GFR. That is when I discovered there are two types of cinnamon and that just 1 teaspoon of cassia (the cinnamon sold in the USA) can cause damage to your liver and kidneys. I had been taking 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon (cassia) a day as a health supplement for about a month. I immediarely threw out all my cinnamon purchased in the USA and ordered this true Ceylon cinnamon from Sri Lanka. I have an appointment in a couple of weeks for another kidney function test, so I will soon know if discontinuing cassia makes a difference. Regardless of the results, I will be using only Ceylon cinnamon from now on. The ways you can know the difference: 1. A stick of Ceylon cinnamon can easily be broken in two, whereas cassia is as hard as a rock. 2. On the end view of the cinnamon stick, Ceylon cinnamon appears layered (like a stack of crepe paper) and rolled; cassia looks like a scroll. 3. Ceylon cinnamon is tan; cassia is reddish brown. 4. Ceylon cinnamon has a mild fragrance and taste; cassia has a strong fragrance and taste. 5. Ceylon cinnamon comes from Sri Lanka (possibly south India); cinnamon grown anywhere else is cassia. 6. Ceylon cinnamon is MUCH more expensive than cassia.

These are exactly what they describe themselves to be. Remember that this product is best used fresh, so avoid buying large quantities unless you plan to freeze them and vacuum pack them. The cinnamon has the same base flavor as other types of cinnamon, but on top of that, a bit more of that flavor one finds in red hot candies without that intense heat. I would use these on top of something or in a beverage, and use the other types of cinnamon inside a baked goods, so you'll get the best of the flavor.

I have tried all sorts of Ceylon cinnamon and this one truly tastes amazing! I boiled it in hot water for health benefits and it comes out so nice and sweet. It is similar tasting to Cassia, which is a good thing, because Cassia tastes good but is very unhealthy for you. This one has a robust flavor but is the real deal! So glad I purchased :)

Good value first time buyer

It’s expensive, but hopefully it lives up to all its claims; I’m eager to try it. It has very few cinnamon sticks.

Excellent!! Grind it up and make tea.

La mejor marca de canela

The product I received did not match the description claiming it was “Ceylon Cinnamon – True Cinnamon from Sri Lanka.” After opening the package, it was immediately clear that the contents were not Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum). Instead, the product contained Saigon cinnamon, which is a type of cassia. Consumers seeking true Sri Lankan cinnamon should be aware that this brand is selling cassia varieties such as Saigon, Korintje, or Chinese cassia rather than authentic Ceylon cinnamon. Very disappointed and would not purchase this brand again for true Ceylon cinnamon.
