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.
I am sharing a cinnamon drink that can help effectively with weight loss. Do follow it with the rest, such as diet and exercise.
Difference between two Cinnamon
- The true cinnamon, that is, Ceylon cinnamon, is natural and has lots of fragrance.
- Fake cinnamon is unreal cinnamon that is not suitable for cooking.
- True cinnamon is mainly suitable for cooking purposes. It is on the sweeter and tastier side, while fake cinnamon is slightly toxic and not suitable or beneficial for consumption purposes.
- True cinnamon has many layers and appears light in weight, very expensive, and aromatic with many health benefits.

- The conclusion is always to look for true cinnamon that tastes amazing and never opt for fake cinnamon, which is not suggested to be consumed.
