Cinnamon is a common spice. It adds a warm, sweet taste to both sweet and savory dishes. There are two main kinds of cinnamon. Ceylon cinnamon is considered by many to be true cinnamon. And it can be very pricey. Cassia cinnamon or Chinese cinnamon generally costs less than Ceylon cinnamon. This is the kind that we put on top of coffee or hot chocolate. Cinnamon is also found in many baked goods here in the United States. According the National Institutes of Health, cinnamon has been used as a spice and traditional herbal medicine for centuries. The NIH website says there is research to suggest that cinnamon, like cumin, may lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Cinnamon may also reduce cholesterol levels, help to reduce inflammation and kill germs that cause disease. These are only four of the many spices used around the world to flavor our food and possibly keep us healthy.
