Cinnamon has been associated with improved health and blood sugar control
More typically associated with the fall and winter months for its warm, aromatic flavour, cinnamon is a spice worth using all year ’round. In addition to giving a tasty boost to many foods and drinks, cinnamon has been associated with improved health and blood sugar control.
Although further studies are needed to confirm the precise role of cinnamon in lowering blood pressure, improving heart health, working as an anti-inflammatory and digestive aid in the body, there appears to be a connection. Cinnamon is a natural source of healthy antioxidant nutrients worth using if you’re a fan of the flavour.
Cinnamon comes from the bark of a small evergreen tree. The bark is dried in the sun, where it curls up into the cinnamon sticks available in the spice aisle. The cinnamon for sprinkling is simply the ground version of these sticks. In cooler weather, a cinnamon-scented curry dish or warm cinnamon oatmeal cookies fresh from the oven can really hit the spot.
