Ceylon Cinnamon vs. Cassia Cinnamon
Not all cinnamon is the same. The cinnamon you see in most UK supermarkets is often Cassia cinnamon (mainly from China, Vietnam, or Indonesia). While Cassia has a strong, spicy flavour, it also contains high levels of coumarin, a natural compound that can be harmful if consumed in large amounts.
Ceylon Cinnamon known as Cinnamomum verum or “true cinnamon” is gentler, sweeter, and far lower in coumarin. Its delicate flavour elevates both sweet and savoury dishes without overpowering them.

FAQs About Ceylon Cinnamon
How do I know it’s real Ceylon cinnamon?
Look for the lighter colour, delicate quills made of multiple layers, and sweet aroma — all signs of the real thing.
Why is it more expensive than other cinnamon?
Ceylon cinnamon is rare, labour-intensive to produce, and almost entirely grown in Sri Lanka. Its unique flavour and low coumarin content make it highly valued worldwide.
Does it expire?
While it won’t “go bad” quickly, cinnamon’s flavour is best enjoyed within 18–24 months for sticks and 12–18 months for powder.
Our cinnamon is not just a spice, it’s the story of Sri Lankan soil, skilled farmers, and a tradition that has been perfected over generations. With Eden Spice, you’re not only getting exceptional flavour, but you’re also supporting communities and sustainable farming.
