It is easier to take in this form, and helps reduce sugar levels for diabetics.

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.

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

Hi,I am not sure if it is pure or not. All I can tell is that frontier ground ceylon cinnamon has a better taste and aroma. I returned mine to amazon and got a refund.

I do not know if the cinnamon is irradiated. The packaging does state it is Ceylon Cinnamon.

It is "true" cinnamon, but not Ceylon. Cassia cinnamon is less expensive, and some doctors advise against it.

Frontier offers several selections of cinnamon, so this is a good question. I pulled my jar from the cupboard and the only ingredient listed on the bottle is certified organic Ceylon Cinnamon. I love the taste and use it daily, either in a drink with green tea and lemon, or my morning organic oatmeal. I'm not sure why the company used that picture on the bottle, but what's inside is Ceylon Cinnamon. Enjoy!

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.

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.

No this is not ceylon, but you can buy at Penzey's Spices on line, more expensive and more the true cinnamon but I have no health problems to be concerned about with Canela Molida. Tones has always provided great spices at a fair price and this cinnamon is very fine, sweet smelling and has a great taste and much better taste than cinnamon I have bought in grocery stores.

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.

I cannot answer your question with a definite yes or no. I tried researching it on the internet and I think it is a blend of ceylon and other asian varieties. I don't honestly know if it is truly " organic ". All I can verify is that it is the best tasting cinnamon I have ever tasted. For me, where it comes from is mute point. IT just has the right "bite" on my tongue. Sorry I am unable to answer your question with a definite yes or no. Harold

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.

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.

Hi, this is the best cinnamon on the market. It is pretty finely ground in the package (unless you buy the stick cinnamon) and blends into baking recipes or as my husband uses it, in his hot tea. For the hot cinnamon tea he just puts the cinnamon in with his tea bag by removing the bags staple, put about 1/8 teaspoon in and re-staple the bag. I've used it to make frosting for cinnamon rolls, yummy...:>))).

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.

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.
