Cinnamon Bark

Whole cinnamon bark from certified organic farms, steam-sterilised and sold as quills rather than powder. Buying it whole is the right call, because the species question is the one that matters with cinnamon and powder makes it invisible. Pure & Sure does not state whether this is true Ceylon cinnamon or the far more widespread Cassia, and the difference is not academic: Cassia contains considerably more coumarin, a compound with a genuine tolerable daily intake limit that heavy daily users can exceed. You can often tell by looking. Ceylon quills are thin, tan, papery and roll up in many fine layers that crumble easily; Cassia is thicker, redder, harder, and curls into a single dense scroll. For occasional use in biryani, chai or baking, this distinction does not matter much. If you take cinnamon daily for blood-sugar reasons, ask Pure & Sure which species this is first.
