Why is Ceylon cinnamon called "true" cinnamon and how does it differ from other types of ground cinnamon? There are many types of cinnamon, all derived from the bark of trees belonging to the Cinnamomum genus but are of different species. Most are types of Cassia cinnamon. They look and taste different than our True cinnamon, which reigns from the Cinnamomum Verum tree, native to Sri Lanka. It is the only original cinnamon and is prized by epicureans worldwide. Cassia cinnamon is merely a substitution for what we know as "true" cinnamon; it has a harsher flavor and lacks the sweetness of Ceylon cinnamon. It also contains large quantities of coumarin, which is a naturally-occurring flavoring substance that can be toxic when ingested in large quantities. While coumarin is also found in Ceylon cinnamon, it only has trace amounts. So if flavor and health are important to you, avoid the more common, Cassia variety. All natural and practically organic, Ceylon cinnamon is available to purchase in both ground cinnamon powder and 5-inch cinnamon quills (cinnamon quills are another name for cinnamon sticks).
