Organic True Ceylon cinnamon is one of our most popular spices. Organic cinnamon powder is a special spice with a rich, sweet taste that transports you to foreign places. Cinnamon is great if you are trying to cut down on sugar or honey as it has a natural sweetness. Warming and delicious with cacao, porridge and smoothies – and of course, practically every cake and cookie that exists. It's also used in lots of Middle Eastern, North African and Indian cookery.  

We only stock organic ceylon cinnamon from a small network of trusted suppliers. The inner bark is gently dried with warm air and then ground down into a rich brown powder which has a characteristic aromatic taste.

Ceylon (or true) is a purer and higher grade product with more potent properties than cassia cinnamon (which is usually found in supermarkets). True ceylon cinnamon contains higher levels of cinnamon’s beneficial essential oil, cinnamaldehyde. The more common cassia variety contains high levels of coumarin which can, over time, be toxic to the liver. Ceylon cinnamon contains so little coumarin that it often doesn’t show up on testing. It is safe to consume in large quantities on a regular basis, whereas cassia cinnamon is not due to its coumarin content.
