What to Look for in High-Quality Ceylon Cinnamon Powder
✅ Certified Organic – No pesticides, synthetic drying agents, or fumigation
✅ True Ceylon (Cinnamomum verum) – Always check for species on the label
✅ Fine, Aromatic Texture – Smooth powder with a sweet, delicate scent
✅ Low Coumarin Content – Safe for long-term daily use
✅ Lab-Tested – For heavy metals, microbial safety, and purity
✅ Fair Trade or Ethically Sourced – Sustainably grown, often from Sri Lanka
⚠️ Beware of mislabeled “Ceylon-style” cinnamon—verify it is Cinnamomum verum, not cassia (C. cassia).

Safety and Side Effects
Ceylon cinnamon is very safe for daily use in culinary amounts. Unlike cassia, it has negligible coumarin levels, making it non-toxic even at higher doses.
Cautions:
- May lower blood sugar—monitor if diabetic or on glucose-lowering medication
- In very high doses, may mildly irritate the stomach lining in sensitive individuals
📌 Stick to recommended amounts and always choose true Ceylon for safe long-term use.
