Organic Cinnamon Ground, Cassia

Ingredients: organic cinnamon, cassia

Country of Origin: Vietnam

Health Benefits: Cassia cinnamon helps balance blood sugar and is beneficial for diabetics.
Due to its high levels of coumarin, cassia cinnamon can be harmful if consumed in large amounts. To avoid adverse effects, it’s advised not to exceed 0.05 milligrams of coumarin per day for every pound you weigh. For example, a 150-pound person should not consume more than 7.5 milligrams of coumarin, which equates to about 3 teaspoons of cassia cinnamon.

Storage: To maximize freshness, store in a dark airtight container in a cool dry place. Once the spice is ground, flavor deteriorates with exposure to light, heat, air, humidity and time. Here are rules of thumb about the shelf life of spices and herbs >

NOTE: The plastic refill bags are not intended for long-term storage of your spices. Due to the porous nature of plastic, the essential oils that are released when a spice is ground, may react with the plastic and/or labelling inks over time.

Refill bags contain the same amount of spice as in our small glass jars. When they arrive, simply snip the corner of your bag, refill your original Smith & Truslow spice jar, apply the new label, and recycle the bag.
