Ceylon Cinnamon NZ: True Cinnamon Deserves a Place in Every Kitchen

If you're searching for a spice that’s flavourful, versatile, and loaded with health benefits — Ceylon cinnamon is your answer. Known as “true cinnamon,” Ceylon is the preferred choice for those who care about quality and wellness. Unlike the more common Cassia variety, Ceylon cinnamon has a delicate, mildly sweet taste and is prized for its lower coumarin content, making it safer for daily use.

What Makes Ceylon Cinnamon Special?

  • True Cinnamon: Sourced from the inner bark of the Cinnamomum verum tree, Ceylon cinnamon is considered the premium variety.

  • Subtle & Aromatic: It has a light, citrusy flavour that blends effortlessly into both sweet and savoury dishes.

  • Low Coumarin Content: Unlike Cassia cinnamon, Ceylon contains very little coumarin — a compound that, in large quantities, can be harmful to the liver.

Health Benefits of Ceylon Cinnamon:

  • Supports Blood Sugar Balance: Ceylon cinnamon is often used to support healthy insulin function and blood sugar levels.

  • Rich in Antioxidants: Packed with polyphenols, it helps fight oxidative stress and inflammation.

  • Natural Antibacterial Properties: Its essential oils may help fight infections and support digestive health.

How to Use Ceylon Cinnamon:

  • Baking: Use it in muffins, cakes, and cookies for a warm, sweet flavour.

  • Smoothies & Teas: Sprinkle into your morning smoothie or steep it in herbal teas.

  • Savory Dishes: Add to curries, stews, or roasted vegetables for a warm depth of flavour.

  • Sprinkle on Fruits & Oats: It’s a healthy way to enhance flavour without sugar.
