🌿 The Truth About Cinnamon Powder: What Most Brands Won’t Tell You
Most people reach for cinnamon powder without ever questioning what’s inside that little jar. It smells nice, it's easy to use, and it's everywhere—from your coffee to your cookies. But here’s the truth:
That cinnamon powder might not be what you think it is.
⚠️ The Industry’s Best-Kept Secret
Cinnamon powder on store shelves is almost always made from the leftover bark—pieces that are too thick, too old, or too damaged to meet even the lowest grade for cinnamon sticks. Instead of being discarded, these scraps are ground down into powder, repackaged, and sold to unsuspecting consumers.
You have no way of knowing what grade you’re actually getting.
And that’s a problem. Because not all cinnamon is created equal.
🧪 Why Cinnamon Powder Often Lacks Potency
Cinnamon’s flavor and health benefits come from its essential oils—especially cinnamaldehyde, the compound responsible for its signature scent and anti-inflammatory effects.
But here’s the catch:
- The moment cinnamon is ground into powder, it begins to oxidize and lose potency.
- Over time, it loses flavor, aroma, and medicinal value—especially when stored in clear plastic jars under supermarket lights.
- Most commercial powders have been sitting for months (or even years) before they reach your kitchen.
That’s why your cinnamon tea might taste weak... and why that “cinnamon detox” doesn’t work as advertised.
🌀 The Coumarin Concern
And then there's Cassia—a cheaper cousin often passed off as cinnamon powder. It’s darker, more bitter, and contains high levels of coumarin, a naturally occurring compound that can be harmful to your liver in large amounts.
In fact, most of the cinnamon sold in the U.S. and Europe is actually Cassia, not true Ceylon cinnamon.
✅ The Better Way: Stick With the Source
If you truly care about flavor, wellness, and authenticity, there’s only one way to know what you’re consuming:
Buy whole, premium-grade Ceylon cinnamon sticks—and grind them fresh at home.
