It is a staple ingredient of many cultural recipes, adding a subtle flavor and color to the dishes. Cinnamon cassia is the most common type of Cinnamon and is a typical household item. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another variant of Cinnamon is Ceylon Cinnamon. It contains the same flavor and active ingredients as cinnamon cassia but has a distinct shape, lighter color, and a delicate taste. Ceylon Cinnamon is also being investigated for a few potential health benefits (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/318386\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ceylon Cinnamon is extracted from the inner bark of cinnamon trees. These small evergreens are primarily found in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia. After the bark dries it can be used in stick or powdered form to add warmth and taste to a vast range of food items. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides its unique flavor, Ceylon Cinnamon is also hailed for its possible health benefits. In this article, we will explore the potential health benefits of Ceylon cinnamon and discuss ways to consume it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n    <section class=\"ad-single-wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"ad-single-text ad-title-wrapper\">\n            <h3 class=\"ad-single-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_your_personalized\"><\/span>Get your personalized<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n            <span class=\"ad-single-sub-title color-green\">\n                <svg class=\"icon-sparkle\" width=\"36\" height=\"21\" viewBox=\"0 0 36 21\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                    <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\n                          d=\"M34.6837 0.515943C34.8247 0.835947 34.9421 1.16291 34.9891 1.48987C35.1417 2.64466 35.3179 6.51949 35.2592 7.29863C35.2592 7.53515 35.1887 7.7995 35.0243 8.01516C34.7307 8.39777 33.9791 8.4256 33.5681 8.07081C33.4154 7.94559 33.3215 7.77863 33.2745 7.61863C33.1453 7.15254 33.0396 6.68645 32.9809 6.22035C32.8165 4.81512 32.6638 3.40293 32.5581 1.9977C32.5229 1.53161 32.6051 1.05856 32.6991 0.592466C32.7695 0.244637 33.251 -0.0197144 33.6973 0.00115537C34.2257 0.0289818 34.5546 0.230723 34.6837 0.515943ZM18.6184 9.78225C18.5734 9.67557 18.5344 9.57528 18.4971 9.47956C18.4178 9.27568 18.3465 9.09257 18.2426 8.91267C16.7159 6.24133 14.2615 3.86217 11.4665 1.60128C11.1377 1.33693 10.7267 1.08649 10.2687 0.919531C10.0221 0.829095 9.52885 0.843009 9.247 0.933445C9.03562 1.00301 8.88295 1.27432 8.92992 1.42736C9.01213 1.71954 9.18828 2.01868 9.4349 2.28303C11.0555 4.02913 12.6879 5.76829 14.3437 7.50048C14.8308 8.0068 15.3395 8.50887 15.8473 9.01L15.8473 9.01001C15.9883 9.14921 16.1293 9.28833 16.2697 9.42746C16.4811 9.64311 16.7159 9.85181 16.9626 10.0466C17.2327 10.2692 17.6437 10.4014 18.0547 10.2553C18.0691 10.2501 18.0836 10.245 18.0981 10.2399C18.1097 10.2358 18.1213 10.2318 18.1329 10.2278C18.3785 10.1424 18.6184 10.0589 18.6184 9.78225ZM1.98942 20.1407C2.17783 20.1221 2.37674 20.105 2.58175 20.0875C2.99012 20.0525 3.42272 20.0154 3.84492 19.9598C6.34632 19.6259 8.84771 19.292 11.3374 18.9442C11.8776 18.8676 12.406 18.7355 12.8875 18.5824C13.5334 18.3807 13.7566 18.0954 13.6509 17.7824C13.5452 17.4694 13.1224 17.2746 12.3826 17.2676C11.8776 17.2607 11.3374 17.2676 10.8559 17.3372C7.69683 17.8102 4.5378 18.2972 1.3905 18.7911C1.03819 18.8468 0.674137 18.9442 0.404034 19.0833C-0.2771 19.4242 -0.065712 19.9598 0.803314 20.092C1.01858 20.1228 1.25262 20.1258 1.51135 20.1291C1.66195 20.131 1.82092 20.133 1.98942 20.1407Z\"\n                          fill=\"#17B991\"\/>\n                <\/svg>\n               meal plan!\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n    \n        <div class=\"ad-single-text ad-desc-wrapper\">\n            <p class=\"ad-single-desc\">What's your main health goal?<\/p>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2273&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Ceylon_Cinnamon\" class=\"btn-ad btn-green\">Lose weight<\/a>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2273&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Ceylon_Cinnamon\" class=\"btn-ad btn-green\">Feel great<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n        <img class=\"ad-single-img\" alt=\"health-food\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"395\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/themes\/gridlove-child\/assets\/img\/ad\/health-food.webp\">\n    <\/section>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_The_Ceylon_Cinnamon_Health_Benefits\"><\/span><strong>What Are The Ceylon Cinnamon Health Benefits?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The phytochemical and antioxidant composition of Ceylon Cinnamon carries many possible perks for the human body.

However, it is vital to understand that consuming too much Cinnamon may cause side effects like liver damage or mouth sores (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/side-effects-of-cinnamon\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the US Department of Health, the recommended dosage of Cinnamon should be 6 grams daily for six weeks or less (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cinnamonvogue.com\/DOWNLOADS\/Cinnamon%20Side%20Effects.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Cinnamon is thought to be safe at this level for short-term use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ceylon cinnamon is available in many <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/vegan-holiday-recipes\/\">forms<\/a>. One should know that cinnamon cassia is the most common cinnamon variant available in stores. You should contact the manufacturer to determine if the Cinnamon you are getting is Ceylon or Cassia. This is because powdered Cassia and Ceylon cinnamon have similar colors and forms. Powdered Ceylon cinnamon has been safely used in doses of 0.5 \u2013 3 grams daily for up to 6 months (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/vitamins\/ai\/ingredientmono-330\/ceylon-cinnamon\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides ground Cinnamon, Ceylon cinnamon is also available in capsules for oral intake. Some people may boil cinnamon sticks in water, add honey or lemon, and drink it as tea. Ceylon is considered safe for making \u201ccinnamon water,\u201d as it doesn\u2019t have the toxicity risk of Cassia (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/23627682\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bottom line is that if you are sprinkling some cinnamon on your oatmeal in the morning or otherwise using it in typical amounts to flavor your food, you are most likely safe (unless you have an allergy). If you plan to take cinnamon in higher doses or in supplement form, talk to your doctor first and don\u2019t plan to do so long-term.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Ceylon_Cinnamon_Healthier\"><\/span><strong>Is Ceylon Cinnamon Healthier?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traditional medicine firmly believes that Cinnamon benefits the human body in multiple ways.

This is also known as Vietnamese Cinnamon because it is mainly produced in Vietnam. It is taken from an evergreen tree and belongs to the same family as other types of Cinnamon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When considering its chemical makeup, it is vital to note that this cinnamon species contains the highest cinnamaldehyde ratio. It is a compound that adds to the aroma and taste of Cinnamon. Saigon has 25% cinnamaldehyde, making it the most potent cinnamon variant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The flavor is full and complex, with lower sweetness.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ceylon_Cinnamon\"><\/span><strong>Ceylon Cinnamon<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sri Lanka is the primary supplier of Ceylon cinnamon around the world. The potential health benefits of Ceylon cinnamon make it stand out among the cinnamon family. And many culinary experts consider it their best choice, despite its hefty price tag.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike Cassia, Ceylon contains a lower percentage of Coumarin, which reduces the risk of <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/vegan-holiday-cookies\/\">toxicity<\/a>. Ceylon cinnamon is light brown and has a sweet, delicate flavor. Unfortunately, it is more expensive to purchase than Cassia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>BetterMe app will kick you out of the mental funk, shake off your extra weight, rid you off your energy-zapping habits, and help you sculpt the body of your dreams.

A layperson may be unable to decipher the difference between the taste of each type.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It should be noted that Saigon is just another variety of Cassia, while Ceylon is considered a genuine Cinnamon powder. They are closely related but extracted from different trees.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ceylon Cinnamon health benefits are pretty popular due to its lower risk of toxicity.

As a result, the patient&#8217;s blood pressure lowers, relieving the pressure on the arteries.
