Also known as "true cinnamon", this species originates from Sri Lanka and contains considerably higher levels of key essential oils than are present in Chinese Cinnamon (AKA Cassia). This premium organic spice shares similar clinical properties as Cassia, without the safety concerns, because it is naturally much lower in coumarins.

Essential Oils in Cinnamon Species. Cinnamaldehyde is a constituent that has been studied in both plant species, but is higher in the true cinnamon. A 2006 study implied that it may be the cinnamaldehyde that is responsible for the activity of Cinnamon.

Both cinnamaldehyde and eugenol are responsible for cinnamon's potent antioxidant abilities. Eugenol is the same constituent found in cloves that accounts for it having the highest Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) of all food-borne substances. Therefore, true cinnamon is a superior antioxidant by this assumption.

Recently, the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) in Germany declared that they are assessing the potential health risk for consumers from coumarin in cassia-containing foods and aspire to establish a Tolerable Daily Intake (TDI). However, true cinnamon naturally has 10 times less coumarin than cassia, regardless of whether it is water-extracted or taken in whole form.

Background and Use:
Cinnamon has been very valuable historically due to its numerous properties and uses. It has played key roles in nutrition, medicine and even in religion, causing it to be the most sought-after spice during the peak of the spice trading era. Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) was the only country that cultivated true Cinnamon at the time. Since Cinnamon was the most desired spice, Sri Lanka was fought over and conquered by many European nations during the 17th Century spice trade era.

Key Uses:

• True cinnamon is classified by the British Pharmacopeia as a 'bitter', and may be useful in the support of normal digestion
