CINNAMON CEYLON

Cinnamon from Ceylon is the only true Cinnamon, and comes from the plant Cinnamomum Zeylanicum. An alternative scientific name for Ceylon Cinnamon is Cinnamomum verum, which simply translates as "true cinnamon."... Ceylon Cinnamon is more expensive than Cassia versions, and it is also the Cinnamon more closely associated with potential health benefits involving blood sugar regulation. However, since both forms belong not only to the same family of plants (Lauraceae, the laurel family) but also to the same genus (Cinnamomum) they share many characteristics.
