Given that this is not True Cinnamon, does it still have similar health benefits, or is it just for flavor?

I will take this question to my other sources of information and ask that question but as far a I understand Ceylon Cinnamon is what they used in the studies. I poured half into another container before adding the Ceylon Cinnamon and mixing the 2. From now on I will use the jar.

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 think it's more for flavor. I have read that ceylon cinnamon is what you need to consume for health benefits!!

Hello Susan! The only difference between ceylon and cassia cinnamon is that ceylon is slightly sweeter and more refined. Both types of cinnamon will provide health benefits. We hope this helps!

This is so different from Saigon cinnamon. It take some getting "used to". Yes, it does not have that real strong cinnamon smell and does not have that "bite". I make a lot of cinnamon sugar (diabetic), cinnamon buns, bread and cookies. It took a while, but my family really can taste the difference. In fact I had someone ask me "how do you make your cinnamon sugar, its so good". You may want to use half Saigon Cinnamon and half of the Ceylon Cinnamon till you can taste the difference.

I would think that as long as it still has it's flavor, it would still be good. I've never had the opportunity to use it past it's expiration date because I use it up within a few months of receiving it. I just know it's my very favorite cinnamon in the world! I'm sorry I couldn't be more specific. It's normal flavor tastes kind of like "Red Hots" candy, if that helps any.

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

No, but their turmeric is. I have had both and honestly would never buy another cinnamon again. IT IS THE BEST!:)

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.

I had recently ordered more so waited for the shipment to look at the ingredients. As another reviewer reported below, those ingredients are what is on the package. It seems to me though, that I had emailed the company (www.paleopeople.com) last year to ask what exactly the "Natural Flavors" were. I wasn't given a clear answer though I didn't ask specifically about something like cinnamon. Good luck.

I am unfamiliar with Good Earth but I think this is a very unique flavor. The Harney Hot Cinnamon (regular tea or herbal) is a very intense sweet cinnamon flavor- it doesn't burn but it sweetens the beverage, as if you had added honey. The orange notes are subtle rounding out the flavor and the black tea flavor is ever so noticeable. I am totally addicted to the flavor/sweeteness. If you have never tasted it and like/love a strong (not subtle) cinnamon flavor it is worth a try.

My jar says Ceylon Cinnamon and I can DEFINITELY tell a difference in the taste of this compared to the cheaper cinnamon. It has a sweeter flavor. So regardless of what the picture shows, according to ingredients listed (certified organic Ceylon Cinnamon) and taste, I'd say it's the real deal.

I have read that the other cinnamon you purchase in grocery stores have more of the blood thinning agent in it than the Ceylon cinnamon and that the Ceylon cinnamon is better for you.

Yes. It does not exactly grind it to a fine powder of the kind you would get in store-bought ground cinnamon. After a certain point the unit starts to heat up, and I get diminishing returns. So I would say it is good for most dishes, but possibly not for baking where one needs an extremely fine consistency.

Organic cinnamon only, is the ingredient. This has a wonderful flavor, I use it in my tea. I highly recommend it

sorry I can not help you with this. I just know I have bought Tone spices for years and have been happy with them all...The price is great on larger Tone containers of spices and I use it all the time. You could look up the difference in all cinnamons and then it would be debatable which is really the best and quality for the money.

That question would best be posed to the suppliers, i.e. Amazon or Frontier. Counterfeit "Ceylon Cinnamon"?????....I suppose that we have to trust somebody and Frontier and Amazon should be pretty safe bets. I have no problems with my package...the aroma and taste is great.

So was I. This has listed on the ingredients - organic cinnamon only. It smells great and reminds me of cinnamon when I was a child (many decades ago). I don't think I will use any other cinnamon again. Hope this helps!

Cinnamon has been shown to help lower blood pressure, blood sugar levels and cholesterol. Some studies show it to be good for the skin.
