DESCRIPTION

Cinnamon is obtained from the Ceylon cinnamon tree, or true cinnamon tree (Cinnamomum verum J. Presl, Lauraceae family). Native to Sri Lanka and southern India, this tree can grow up to 10-15 metres tall. It has shiny leaves and small greenish flowers with an unpleasant smell, which produce a purple fruit (1).

To obtain cinnamon, branches that are over 2 years’ old are cut to 1.5 metre lengths. The bark is then separated, kept in the shade, scraped and dried. The spice then curls into rolls resembling quills, or becomes powder (2).

ORGANIC CEYLON CINNAMON STICKS POWDER

Cinnamon was one of the first spices prized and enjoyed by humans, as a perfume, incense, flavouring agent and for its properties (3).

Its name comes from the Indonesian and Malaysian word kayu manis, meaning ‘sweet wood’.

It was used in ancient Egypt for embalming. For the Greeks and Romans, it was such a valuable commodity that it was only allowed for royalty (4). Cinnamon was of such importance that it was called ‘the spice of life’ (5).

Cinnamon is now used for its cosmetic and nutritional properties (6). Sri Lanka, the island with the best conditions for its cultivation (2), is the world’s largest producer (60% of trade) (1).

COMPOSITION AND BENEFITS

The famous 1st Century Greek physician Dioscorides recommended cinnamon to improve vision, digestion, refresh breath, help women during menstruation and as a diuretic (5).

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) now approves its traditional use to alleviate mild gastrointestinal discomfort (7), and it is recommended by the Commission E to combat loss of appetite and dyspepsia (8).

Nutritionally, cinnamon is rich in calcium, phosphorus, vitamin A, B1, B2, vitamin C and niacin (1). It also contains antioxidant polyphenols, terpenes with a spicy aroma, and essential oils, particularly cinnamaldehyde (65-80%) and eugenol (10%) (6, 9).

Numerous studies have demonstrated cinnamon’s anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, gastroprotective and antidiabetic activity (10, 11).
