If this is 100% organic why is coumarin present in the cinnamon? If it is 100% organic and non-GMO, this should be pure cinnamon powder. KLC

From what I have read from the internet, coumarin is a natural or integral component of cinnamon. It did not come from an external source. When a product is organic, it just means no harmful chemical got added to it either from using pesticides in growing the plant or use of chemicals or solvents during the processing of the product in the form that it will be sold. This species of Ceylon cinnamon is supposed to be lower in coumarin content than the cassia species that is sold in spice bottles and that is the reason I bought it and it is supposed to be organic and non-GMO or not genetically modified.

Cinnamon is an oil based product and doesn't dissolve in water. It will mix with oils and milk or in recipes.

Are you disappointed that they're not part of the Non-GMO project or because you're concerned that the coconut can be GMO? It's always been my understanding that if an item is Fully Organic, it can't be or contain GMO's. So while this product isn't labeled as Non-GMO, the fact that it's simply coconut and not a "processed food" that would possibly contain Non-GMO items, I feel it's a pretty safe bet that it's Non-GMO.

It is "Pure cinnamon leaf oil". That is the only ingredient. It is very strong in my opinion. A little bit goes a long way. I hope this helps.

Other reviewers on Amazon revealed that this is not Ceylon Cinnamon, considered the safest. I will be looking for ceylon cinnamon now myself since i put lots of it on my oatmeal 3/4 times a week.

Sorry, I was out of town and didn't have a way to answer but this is the best cinnamon I have ever bought.. It is a pleasant taste, not bitter like regular cinnamon I'm not sure about the origin.

The regular (and cheaper) cinnamon variety contains coumarin which is a toxin. Ceylon is considered premium cinnamon.

I'm sorry to say I found no information on this from the company, and their email link does not seem to be valid. The jar only states cinnamon.

There is nothing on the label that indicates the source of the cinnamon. The label focuses on the unpasteurized natural honey.

No it will not dissolve in any liquid that i have put it into. It does not clump up either. It tends to blend throughout the liquids i have added it to. Some will settle on the bottom and some floats on the top and anywhere in between. The one thing I do know is that I love the flavor and No, I don't know what part of Asia it comes from, it is a blend of different cinnamon barks and the taste is very uniform from bottle to bottle. Some people are pretty picky about where cinnamon comes from but all I can find out is what I just mentioned. Sorry I could not be of more help. Harold

This is not marked organic and I assume it isn't. Also, other than its country of origin, it doesn't specify its contents. After a little research on the internet, it seems Saigon cinnamon comes from cassia bark which is a relative of "true cinnamon" trees. Cassia has been known to contain higher amounts of toxins than cinnamon and ceylon (another spice often marketed as cinnamon). So, use it sparingly, particularly with the very young and very old or those with liver problems. I have been using this stuff for years (even a daily bowl of oatmeal with cinnamon) to no ill-effect.

I don't know. The bottle says "does not contain coumarin". I love this vanilla and will never use anything else. It lasts a long time if kept in the dark and a little cooler.

I don't know but the following info is from the bottle: INGREDIENTS: organic cinnamon; CERTIFIED by QAI; DISTRIBUTED by Frontier Natural Products Co-op, Norway, IA 52318.

According to what I have read in different places on the web, the Ceylon cinnamon is supposed to have only trace amounts of coumarin, significantly less than Saigon and Cassia cinnamon. It would be nice if Frontier would include exact amounts on their label.

Yes, this Vietnamese Cinnamon is also called Saigon Cinnamon and it has the highest amount of Coumarin of all the 4 Cinnomomum species. Higher levels of Couarin can be hard on the liver and kidneys. This is a link to reference: ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saigon_Cinnamon ) If you're concerned about the negative health impact and want an alternative look into "True Cinnamon" known as Ceylon Cinnamon ( Cinnamomum Zeylanicum or Cinnamomum Verum ).

According to their website www.simplyorganic.com, NO. Their powdered "cinnamons" are either Cinnamomum burmannii or Cinnamomum loureirii which are considered cassia, not Cinnamomum verum or "Ceylon/True Cinnamon".

According to the label, the only cinnamon contained is cinnamonum verum, which is Ceylon cinnamon. I have used Swansons products for.20 years and trust the brand.
