Description

Our Organic True Cinnamon Powder has been sourced from Southern India for over 15 years through a fairly traded farming cooperative. Grown in biodiverse, multi-tiered food forests, it reflects thoughtful cultivation and exceptional quality.

Our cinnamon is hand harvested after three or more years, once the bark is mature and thick. Non-irradiated and non-GMO, it is carefully handled and finely ground to preserve its natural oils and rich aroma. Sweet, warm, and gently spiced, it delivers a soft, naturally sweet flavour.

Unlike the sharper, more pungent cassia cinnamon commonly found on most store shelves, true cinnamon is known for its balanced character and delicate sweetness. Cassia cinnamon naturally contains higher levels of coumarin, while true cinnamon contains only trace amounts, which is one of the reasons it is often preferred for everyday use.

Finely ground for effortless use, our cinnamon powder blends seamlessly into baking, curries, oats, hot chocolate, pies, and coffee, adding warmth and depth to both sweet and savoury recipes.

Hand packed on Vancouver Island, BC, our cinnamon powder is a versatile kitchen staple that brings warmth, depth, and a smooth, naturally sweet finish to your recipes.

Welcome to Gathering Place Trading,

Where We Direct Source the Best Organic Cinnamon (True) Powder

True Cinnamon from South India

Gathering Place True Cinnamon powder, also known as Sweet Cinnamon or Ceylon Cinnamon, is hand harvested from family farms in South India. True cinnamon needs to be shade grown and enjoys growing under coconut and banana trees. True cinnamon has a less spicy, more complex, subtle, and naturally sweet flavour. The taste is beyond compare to the more familiar type of cinnamon, known as Cassia. Although popular, Cassia cinnamon contains coumarin, an anticoagulant that can be toxic to the liver. Many people with Type 2 diabetes take daily supplements of cinnamon. Several studies have shown improved insulin sensitivity and blood glucose control by taking as little as 1⁄2 teaspoon of cinnamon per day. Make sure you are using true cinnamon (and always consult your health care professional)!
