Pure Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) from Kerala's Western Ghats. Each 100g contains 15-20 delicate quills with just 0.03% coumarin (safe for daily use). Unlike common cassia, it has subtle sweetness with floral-citrus notes. Harvested during monsoon when rising sap makes bark easier to peel. The inner bark is hand-rolled and sun-dried on bamboo mats. Chew a small piece to help regulate blood sugar. Contains cinnamaldehyde that gives warming properties. Store whole in airtight containers (2 years freshness). Lightly toast before grinding to release oils. Used in Ayurvedic formulations for its circulation-enhancing properties. The essential oils have demonstrated antimicrobial effects. Traditionally added to milk with turmeric as restorative drink. Farmers use sustainable peeling techniques that allow tree regeneration.
