Product Description

SOURCING

We worked with a group of small farmers in Sri Lanka to source these incredible cinnamon quills. Our partner Hafiz, working alongside his brother Huzaifah and their team, collected the cinnamon from each farmer after it was precisely rolled into tight quills. Our partners went the extra step and made sure that each quill was the right size to fit into our jars!

Sri Lankan cinnamon is some of the finest in the world, and we are honored to be working with expert cinnamon suppliers in the rural areas in and around Matale for these exquisite cinnamon quills!

HEALTH BENEFITS

While we do not make any health claims on any of our spices, there has been some historic and limited recent evidence that cinnamon can potentially be helpful for:

• Antibacterial and Antifungal Treatments: Cinnamon oils have demonstrated antibacterial and antifungal activity, and show potential for future alternative and/or synergistic treatments for bacteria and yeast
• Cancers: Research has shown some increasing evidence that cinnamon contains some anticancer properties by inducing apoptosis of cancer cells and inhibiting tumor cell growth.
• Cognition and Alzheimer’s Disease: Cinnamon might boost the ability of the brain to utilize glucose, improve cognitive function, and help fight Alzheimer’s disease by inhibiting aggregation of a protein called tau.
• Glycemic Control: Some research has shown cinnamon to be effective in increasing insulin sensitivity and improving fasting blood glucose levels, with the potential to support glucose control treatment in the future.
• Dyslipidemia: Cinnamon is effective in reducing triglycerides, total cholesterol, and/or LDL-C in some studies.

Further clinical studies are warranted and in progress. Please always consult your healthcare provider. This is not intended as medical advice.
