🌿 Ceylon Cinnamon: A Sweet Spice with a Rich History
Known as the “true cinnamon”, Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) has been cherished for centuries for its delicate flavour and healing properties. Native to Sri Lanka, this golden-brown spice was once worth more than gold and traded across ancient routes from Asia to Europe.
Unlike the more common cassia cinnamon, Ceylon cinnamon is prized for its:
- Subtle, sweet aroma
- Light texture
- Low coumarin content (safer for regular use)
Today, it’s a pantry staple in many NZ kitchens — from wellness drinks to baking classics.
