Cassia cinnamon is a rich culinary spice that also provides useful amounts of manganese, fibre, iron, and calcium. Beyond its flavour and warmth, it contains a wide range of beneficial plant compounds that have been traditionally valued for metabolic, digestive, and circulatory support.

Active Constituents

Cassia Bark contains cinnamaldehyde, the compound responsible for its distinctive aroma and flavour, along with polyphenols, antioxidants, and volatile oils that contribute to its traditional wellness-supporting properties.

These compounds are associated with cinnamon’s long-standing use as a warming, stimulating, and aromatic spice for digestion, circulation, and general vitality.
