Ceylon cinnamon powder — finely ground true cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) with a delicate, citrusy-sweet flavour.
Ceylon takes its name from Sri Lanka, where this original "true" cinnamon is native — Ceylon was the island's former name. Lighter in colour than the everyday cassia variety, it is softer and more fragrant on the palate, and naturally low in coumarin, which is why regular cinnamon users often make it their daily spice. Harder to find and a little dearer than cassia, but worth it where finesse matters.
Best for
Delicate bakes — sponges, shortbread, banana bread and pastries
Porridge, overnight oats, granola and yogurt
Coffee, hot chocolate and chai lattes
Baked apples, poached pears and fruit compotes
FAQ
How is Ceylon different from cassia cinnamon? Ceylon is the delicate, citrusy-sweet "true" cinnamon with naturally low coumarin levels; cassia is bolder, hotter and higher in coumarin. If you like a robust hit for buns and curries, try our Organic Ground Cinnamon Cassia.
Powder or sticks? Choose powder for baking and stirring in; choose Organic Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks for infusing mulled drinks, curries and rice, or grinding fresh.
