Cinnamon: An Ancient Spice for the Modern Kitchen
Explore the fascinating difference between Ceylon and Cassia cinnamon, and why quality matters in this beloved spice.
Cinnamon has a history that spans thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians used it in mummification, and it was once worth more than gold. Today, it's one of the most beloved spices worldwide, but not all cinnamon is created equal.
Ceylon vs. Cassia: Know Your Cinnamon
At Aromic, we offer both Ceylon cinnamon (true cinnamon from Sri Lanka) and Indian cinnamon (also called Cassia). Ceylon cinnamon has a delicate, sweet flavor with subtle citrus notes, while Cassia has a stronger, more intense taste.
The Aromic Difference
Our Ceylon cinnamon comes from sustainable plantations in Sri Lanka, where the bark is hand-harvested and carefully rolled into quills. Our Indian cinnamon is sourced from Kerala's finest groves, offering a bolder flavor perfect for Indian cooking.
Health Benefits
Cinnamon is rich in antioxidants and has been studied for its potential to support healthy blood sugar levels, reduce inflammation, and boost immunity. Ceylon cinnamon contains lower levels of coumarin, making it the preferred choice for daily consumption.
Culinary Magic
Use Ceylon cinnamon in delicate desserts, coffee, and tea. Choose Cassia for robust curries, biryanis, and garam masala blends. Both varieties elevate sweet and savory dishes with their warm, comforting aroma.
