F&R Cinnamon Bark
F&R Cinnamon Bark comes as 25g weight of non-irradiated fresh cinnamon sticks, packaged in a glass container. Cinnamon is a delicious culinary spice, with numerous medicinal properties.
Not only is cinnamon rich in the minerals manganese, iron, and calcium, but it contains chemical compounds that support a variety of different functions in the body.
Traditionally used for colds, bad breath, toothache, and diarrhea, cinnamon boasts antimicrobial properties and is a potent antioxidant. Cinnamon is anti fungal and antibacterial, and one modest teaspoon of this spice contains as many antioxidants as a full cup of pomegranate juice and 1/2 a cup of blueberries.
Some claim cinnamon is also a powerful aphrodisiac, and insect repellent.
Cinnamon has anti-inflammatory properties attributed to its ability to lower levels of the inflammatory fatty acid arachidonic acid, and reduce inflammatory responses. It also prevents blood platelets from sticking together, thus reducing blood clotting.
Rather impressive is the research into its therapeutic affect on Type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance, as it appears to normalize blood sugar levels, and improve insulin sensitivity. These studies also saw a dramatic drop in triglyceride, LDL, and general cholesterol levels in its study participants.
Cinnamons spicy scent is also being attributed to improved memory and brain function in study subjects.
Culinarily speaking, it has a strong, warm and sweet aromatic flavour and can be added into recipes for cinnamon buns, pancakes and donuts, in pumpkin soup, curries, fruit salads, or porridge. In winter, use cinnamon as an antioxidant supplement, and warm up with a cup of home made chai tea.
