Smith & Truslow Organic Ceylon Cinnamon is USDA certified organic and third-party tested for heavy metals — delivering the delicate, subtly sweet, lightly citrusy flavor that makes Ceylon the cinnamon of choice for discerning cooks, wellness enthusiasts, and anyone who wants the finest cinnamon in the world.
Our organic Ceylon cinnamon is sourced from Sri Lanka — the birthplace of true cinnamon and still the gold standard for Ceylon cinnamon production — it has a pale tan color, gentle warmth, and refined aromatic complexity. Whether you're stirring it into a golden milk latte, blending a delicate spice mix, baking a subtle cinnamon dessert, or taking it daily as a wellness supplement, Smith & Truslow organic Ceylon cinnamon delivers a purity and finesse that cassia cinnamon and grocery store alternatives simply can't match.
Why Ceylon Cinnamon — The True Cinnamon
Ceylon cinnamon is often called "true cinnamon" — and for good reason. While cassia cinnamon dominates grocery store shelves with its bold, assertive sweetness, Ceylon cinnamon offers something entirely different: a lighter, more complex flavor with subtle floral and citrus notes that elevate delicate dishes without overpowering them. Ceylon is the preferred choice for beverages, custards, rice puddings, and any recipe where you want the warmth of cinnamon without the intensity of cassia.
There is also an important wellness distinction. Cassia cinnamon contains significantly higher levels of coumarin — a naturally occurring compound that in very high doses may affect liver health. Ceylon cinnamon contains negligible amounts of coumarin, making it the preferred choice for people who use cinnamon daily as part of a wellness routine or who are sensitive to coumarin.
Why Our Organic Ceylon Cinnamon Is Different
Cinnamon is one of the spices most frequently found to contain elevated levels of heavy metals — a concern highlighted by Consumer Reports and other independent testing organizations. Not ours. Every lot of Smith & Truslow organic Ceylon cinnamon is tested by an accredited third-party lab against heavy metal specifications more stringent than industry standards. We also use no fillers, no anticaking agents, and no irradiation — just pure, freshly ground certified organic Ceylon cinnamon from Sri Lanka.

Storage and Shelf Life
Storage and Shelf Life
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.
