There are dozens of proven health benefits when you consume the wonderful spice known as cinnamon.
Cinnamon is an ancient spice harvested from the branches of the trees of the genus Cinnamomum. It is cultivated all over the world, from South and mainland Southeast Asia to the Caribbean and South America.
Cinnamon is now the second most popular spice – after black pepper – in the United States and Europe. As a spice, it is used either in powder form or whole, as pieces of bark. It has been prized for its medicinal properties for thousands of years.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, even just one teaspoon of ground cinnamon is bursting to the brim with nutrients, including calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorous and vitamins K and A.
