Cinnamon – Cassia: Top health-based benefits

Cinnamon is a spice that is made from the inner bark of trees scientifically known as Cinnamomum. It has been used as an ingredient throughout history, dating back as far as Ancient Egypt. It used to be rare and valuable and was regarded as a gift fit for kings.

There are four major types of cinnamon:

  • Darker-colored cassia cinnamon is the one most commonly sold in the United States. It’s grown in southeastern Asia.
  • Ceylon cinnamon, also known as true cinnamon, is frequently used in other countries.

The cinnamon you buy at the store could be one of the two main types, Ceylon or cassia, or a mixture of both. Ceylon is easier to grind but it may not have the same health benefits.
