In Russia they sell fake cinnamon.

Actually. Cinnamon is obtained from the bark of plants of the same species (the laurel family). In other words, cinnamon, like coffee, has several varieties, according to the Internet edition for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. net The most expensive variety is mined in Ceylon. It is not only the best cinnamon, but also the most expensive - a thin layer of bark, no more than a centimeter in size, is packed in wooden and glass cases and labeled. This sort of cinnamon is the most fragrant and slightly burning taste.

The next highest quality is produced in India, and it is also very expensive. But in China, the most available variety for spices grows. This species is called Cassia or Chinese cinnamon. The taste and aroma of it are slightly more dramatic than those of noble varieties.

Cassia can not be distinguished from real cinnamon.

Actually. Of course you can. Firstly, this is a high price: 15 grams of Ceylon cinnamon are worth at least 350-400 rubles. It is sold only in the form of swirling sticks in individual packaging. Since this is a section of the inner layer of the cortex, it is twisted with beautiful curls, almost the same as in a scroll that has been twisted from both sides.

In Cassia, the thickness of the cortex is thicker, only one curl is obtained, the bark can simply be broken into pieces. But, as a rule, it is ground into a powder. In addition, the type of cinnamon is written on packages.

Cinnamon will help cure type 2 diabetes.

Actually. The American Diabetes Association even conducted a series of studies that did not confirm this theory.

The study used cassia. Volunteers for 40 days added up to 5 grams of cinnamon in different dishes.

There was no pronounced effect, however, in some studies, a decrease in the level of sugar and cholesterol in the blood. But still, Americans did not recommend this spice in the treatment of diabetes.
