Ceylon cinnamon is a premium type of cinnamon. It helps to support metabolic health and healthy blood sugar. Ceylon cinnamon, or true cinnamon, is seen as the higher quality type of cinnamon versus cassia cinnamon. This premium cinnamon is preferred as it contains less coumarin. Coumarin is a natural compound found in certain plants including cinnamon, but in higher concentration in other cinnamons, like cassia. It can be harmful in large doses. Cassia cinnamon contains approximately 1% coumarin, while Ceylon cinnamon contains only 0.004%, or 250 times less. This is so low that it’s often undetectable.
