How to Identify Real Ceylon Cinnamon and Cassia?(Buying Tips)

 

There are two types of cinnamon: Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum Zeylanicum) and Cassia cinnamon(Cinnamomum Cassia or Cinnamomum Aromaticum).

Ceylon cinnamon is known as Cinnamomum Verum or Mexican Cinnamon(Canella) in some of the countries. Majority of the cinnamon is cassia in the world’s retail and wholesale market; The reason is ceylon cinnamon grows only in Sri Lanka. People mainly use Cinnamon powder and cinnamon sticks for cooking and health benefits.

How to Identify Ceylon Cinnamon?

There are plenty of ceylon cinnamon brands in the market. but when you buy it, you should have the knowledge to identify real ceylon cinnamon brands.

When we compare real ceylon cinnamon and cassia cinnamon, there are clear physical differences to identify them.

But the issue is, when you buy ceylon cinnamon powder from supermarkets or groceries, you can only identify ceylon cinnamon powder through the label it is packed.

However, That is not a proper way to identify ceylon cinnamon powder because the seller can mention ”ceylon cinnamon” name even the real material is cassia. So be careful when you buy ground ceylon cinnamon.

Ceylon cinnamon has a fresh, Exotic Aroma. If you have already used cassia cinnamon, then it is very easy to identify the real ceylon cinnamon brand due to the pleasant fragrance.

Just one more thing…,

When we look at ceylon cinnamon sticks, It is not a big deal to identify real ceylon cinnamon, because there are major physical differences between these two types of cinnamon sticks. Please look at this photo and identify the difference easily.

 

Difference between Ceylon Cinnamon and Cassia

As we discussed, even cinnamon sticks are easy to identify in the market, ceylon cinnamon powder is a bit hard to recognize without smell, when you select products from the supermarket or any other places, make sure with the supplier about the content of the product.

But as we talked about this before, you are able to recognize the real ceylon cinnamon through its own pleasant fragrance. If you follow these things, it is not too hard to identify ceylon cinnamon brands.

Ceylon cinnamon is the healthiest one when we compare with other types of cinnamon; The main thing is the lower coumarin percentage. But, Cassia has a huge amount of coumarin. Continuously When you consume cassia cinnamon for many years, It negatively affects your liver and kidney. that is why we need ceylon cinnamon.

Working with Golden Cinnamon company was truly a pleasure. More importantly the spices arrived fresh and amazing. These spices are massively better than the "old" packages you get in the store or online (they never say how old they are). Here we know the year of harvest and boy the fresh smell from each spice is like taking an exotic trip to lands far away.We started this journey for heath benefits provided by these incredible ancient spices, and ended up making friends with the team at Golden Cinnamon.I hope you, the reader, choose to take the same amazing journey.Jeff

The package arrived damaged and the invoice stated sticks instead of cinnamon powder. Several of my emails bounced and I finally used the website to contact them. Calling is very intermittent. Only got through once in 10 tries. Since the cinnamon powder was leaking out of the box, decided to open the box and inspect. One of the packages had been punctured or burst and there was cinnamon powder all over the inside of the box. We tasted it and it lacks the flavor of the organic Sri Lankan powder we bought from Earth Fare and it is not ground as fine (slightly gritty). We asked for a refund and received it after some delay. The quality is not bad but I hope they take the grind fineness comment to heart.

It is very hard to find superior cinnamon in our American stores, so I was pleased to discover. Ceylon Golden Cinnamon as a seller of Ceylon cinnamon from Sri Lanka. Ceylon cinnamon is king in the world of cinnamon because of its healing attributes. If you take time to read about the healthbenefits of Ceylon cinnamon, you'll be impressed. Be it diabetes, heart disease, mental deterioration, and many more disabilities, it's a bit of a miracle worker. It definitely has been for me. I have an autoimmune condition that has been brought under control because of Ceylon cinnamon. Furthermore, no other type of cinnamon produces these health effects. Sound too good to be true? Cinnamon as a healer has been around for many hundreds of years. Google "Ceylon Cinnamon Benefits" and get the good news yourself.

It is very difficult to find ceylon cinnamon of high quality in UAE, initially i was hesitating to order direct from Sri lanka but eventually i ordered, trust me it was the best decision i made( because i was looking for ceylon cinnamon from ages), specially their response was sharp and very helpful and was continuously informing me about the details. Packaging and quality of the cinnamon was really good and the best part they provide a letter from their Government also regarding the quality and authenticity of ceylon cinnamon.Order delivered within a week which was quick because i didn't paid for express shipment.I will Highly recommend it to all who will be wiling to order internationally. For sure i will order again

I ordered the Ceylon sticks. They did came in very good quality. Each stick is the same length as the website described. It took a while for me to get the shipment but it is worth the wait. Gayan at Golden Cinnamon has been great at emailing me and calling me frequently to keep me informed of the shipment status. I would order from them again.
