Description:

• The cinnamon you have in your kitchen cabinet could be Cassia or Chinese cinnamon which is referred to as false cinnamon among experts. 
• The Cassia tree bark has higher amounts of coumarin which is known to cause damage to the liver if consumed in excess. 
• Real cinnamon comes from the bark of the Cinnamomum Verum plant that grows in the rain forests and the plantations of Sri Lanka.
• Ceylon cinnamon compared to cassia is completely safe and has numerous health benefits. 
• The harvest of Ceylon cinnamon involves chopping of the shoots every 3 years, shaving off the inner bark which is then shade dried to make Ceylon Cinnamon.
