The Nemmara Difference:

• Subtle & Sweet: Our cinnamon is hand-harvested and carefully rolled into quills, preserving its unique, mild sweetness and fragrant oils. It adds warmth without overpowering your recipe.

Tips for Use:

For a bold flavor, use a cinnamon stick while cooking and remove before serving. For a milder taste, shave or grate the stick directly over your dish or drink.

FAQ:

Q: Why is Ceylon cinnamon called true cinnamon?

A: Ceylon cinnamon, Cinnamomum verum, is the original cinnamon species native to Sri Lanka. For a long time it was the only cinnamon known to European traders. The name stuck even after the bolder cassia varieties became widely available. It has a delicate, sweet flavour and a soft multi-layered texture quite different from the harder cassia sticks.

Q: Is Ceylon cinnamon better for you than regular cinnamon?

A: Ceylon contains significantly less coumarin, a naturally occurring compound that in high doses over time can put stress on the liver. If you are adding cinnamon to your morning coffee, smoothie, or a health supplement every day, Ceylon is the safer and more commonly recommended option. The flavour is also milder and more complex, which works better in drinks and desserts.

Q: How do I know if I have real Ceylon cinnamon?

A: Ceylon sticks are soft and made of many thin papery layers rolled together. You can crumble them easily with your fingers. Cassia sticks are thick, hard, and have just one or two layers. Ceylon is also lighter in colour, almost tan, and smells sweeter and less harsh than cassia.
