Is this the Ceylon cinnamon?

No, it is a type of Cassia cinnamon (Vietnamese) which is much stronger and sweeter than Ceylon.

From what I understand, no. This is the Vietnamese cinnamon, which has a hot, intense flavor. Like Red Hots. I think Ceylon is the European variety, which is more common.

This is more than likely Saigon cinnamon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saigon_Cinnamon

I can't say for sure where it comes from, but it's supposed to be the Vietnamese type. It has a different taste and "heat" than the Ceylon cinnamon I purchased at the same time. I prefer the Ceylon, but that's just me and I wouldn't say this cinnamon is "worse" than the other, just different. I don't bake with it, only use it on steel-cut oatmeal and I switch the types every few days for a change-of-pace. I don't regret buying it.

Not even close. Ceylon tastes like dust powder once you try this one. This is the best cinnamon I have ever tasted.

the cinnamon is, of course, from Ceylon. It is packaged in Issaquah, Washington. It is probably also put into the 100% vegetarian cellulose capsules in WA - information from the GreenPacks label.

I don't know anything about ceylon or cassia. The bottle says for ingredients, organic cinnamon. Certified organic by QAI. When I ordered it I though it was Saigon Cinnamon which I wanted for the flavor. My wife says, it was for her, it taste better than the Saigon. So I don't know about sweet or ceylon or cassia but I would say it is true cinnamon from my perspective. I hope this helps. We put it mostly in coffee but also in dishes and on a few other things.

I received an answer from Amit at Olive Nation today. This oil is from the leaf of the cassia plant, not from Cinnamomum zeylanicum, which is known as Ceylon cinnamon.

The ingredients listed on the bottle are: Micro Crystalline celluouse, magnesium stearate, silica. The main ingredient is ceylon cinnamon. I hope this information is helpful.

I don't know, but don't think so. It has a pleasant mild flavor, but not the aroma and taste that I'm accustomed to from the ceylon.

I use this brand because of the type (ceylon) and research shows the best "true ceylon" cinnamon comes from Sri Lanka. I have not tried any other countries and am satisfied with this particular type after several months of use.

This answer came from ask.com.Cinnamon powder is not exactly the same as ground cinnamon. For cooking purposes, they can be interchanged. Ground cinnamon has a stronger flavor but a shorter shelf life.The Frontier brand you are asking about is powdered. It is ground more fine that the standard cinnamon you find at a typical grocery store. The Ceylon cinnamon has a fresher, stronger cinnamon scent and flavor. After buying and trying this brand of cinnamon I gave away what I had left of the McCormic brand. I use it just as I would have any other cinnamon.

The original Israeli research on the benefits of cinnamon for Alzheimer's, diabetes, etc. was all done with Ceylon cinnamon (true cinnamon) not the more common Cassia cinnamon. They have very different chemical composition and are not interchangeable.

I don't believe so. The ingredients read: Ceylon Cinnamon, Gelatin, plant fiber, magnesium Stearate and Silica.

It doesn't say anything about it on the label, but Saigon cinnamon is Cassia Cinnamon and Cassia naturally contains a fair amount of coumarin. What I read said that Ceylon Cinnamon contains hardly any coumarin. This quote is from Wikipedia: "One teaspoon of cassia cinnamon powder therefore contains 5.8 to 12.1 mg of coumarin, which may be above the tolerable daily intake value for smaller individuals."

Cinnamomum verum, from which Ceylon cinnamon is derived, is native to Sri Lanka. It is also grown elsewhere, though. The old botanical synonym for the tree-Cinnamomum zeylanicum-is derived from Sri Lanka's former name, Ceylon and Sri Lanka still produces 80-90% of the world's supply of Cinnamomum verum. But it is also cultivated on a commercial scale in Seychelles and Madagascar. This package is clearly labeled "Cinnamomum verum J.Presl" which is the binomial name of true Ceylon cinnamon.

http://www.frontiercoop.com/products.php?ct=spicesft&cn=Cinnamon+Powder ... in reading this, they mention both Sri Lanka and India. They do not specifically say where they actually get there product. " True cinnamon, also known as Ceylon cinnamon, is obtained from C. verum, grown in Sri Lanka. It's tan and very mild." "Ceylon (Cinnamomum verum) This cinnamon is native to Sri Lanka (though grown in India, the East and West Indies, and Central America). The cultivated variety grows 8 to 10 feet and resembles a shrub rather than a tree. Most of the product in the U.S. is sold in the stick form."

Yes it is. It even says "cinnamon verum" on the label, and the cinnamon is the lighter color of true cinnamon.

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.

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

I would go with the Ceylon. Much more intense in flavor. I do a lot of home baking. What works for me is combining the two cinnamon together. You get the best of both. Try it.
