It is cassia — a related bark, cheaper, harsher, and the reason most people think cinnamon tastes aggressive. Ceylon is the true cinnamon, Cinnamomum verum, and it is milder, sweeter and more complex, with citrus and floral notes cassia does not have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference that matters most is coumarin. Cassia carries it at concentrations high enough that European food safety authorities have set tolerable daily intake limits, and someone taking a daily spoonful of cassia can exceed them. Ceylon contains only traces. If you use cinnamon occasionally in baking, cassia is fine. If you take it daily — in coffee, oatmeal, a smoothie — the distinction is worth caring about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRootalive sources organic Ceylon cinnamon from Sri Lanka, where the tree is native and where true cinnamon has been produced for centuries. One ingredient, ground bark, nothing else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree sizes: 100 g, 200 g and 454 g. At Rootalive, we help and inspire people to live a healthier and happier lifestyle. We take a lot of pride in our quality and strive to work harder every day to deliver only the best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Rootalive Organic Ceylon Cinnamon Powder Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is for anyone who uses cinnamon daily rather than occasionally — in coffee, porridge, smoothies or yoghurt — where the coumarin question actually matters. It also suits bakers who want the milder, more nuanced flavour Ceylon gives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is noticeably subtler than cassia, so if you are used to supermarket cinnamon you may want a little more of it for the same impact. That is the trade-off for the gentler profile. Cinnamon may affect blood sugar, so speak to a practitioner if you take diabetes medication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRootalive Organic Ceylon Cinnamon Powder Features and Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrue Ceylon Cinnamon\u003c\/strong\u003e — Cinnamomum verum, not the cassia most cinnamon on the shelf actually is.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFar Lower in Coumarin\u003c\/strong\u003e — Cassia carries coumarin at levels that matter with daily use.
