About Cinnamon and Honey

We get different types of cinnamon...

Two types of Cinnamon:

• One is Ceylon cinnamon.
• The second type is Cassia cinnamon.

Ceylon cinnamon is the true cinnamon, and cassia cinnamon is known to be the fake kind of cinnamon.

What does cinnamon look like?

Cinnamon sticks appear brown and are of finger-size rolls. True cinnamon is the aromatic bark of a cinnamon tree and has many layers inside the roll.

Fake cinnamon has no layers inside the roll and is brown but does not give out any aroma or fragrance.
