Sevenhills Wholefoods Organic Cinnamon Powder (True Ceylon) 1kg

Oh wow this is gorgeous cinnamon. You can tell the difference to the stuff you get in jars at the shops. It is worth paying that bit extra for the good stuff. You won't regret it.

Good quality

The media could not be loaded. As someone who uses cinnamon every day, choosing the right type of cinnamon is crucial for me. I’ve known for a while that what’s commonly sold in supermarkets is not actually true cinnamon, but Cassia cinnamon, a cheaper and more widely available alternative. Cassia may be fine in small amounts, but it contains much higher levels of cinnamaldehyde and coumarin, both of which can be toxic in larger amounts, particularly for the liver. The problem is, it's quite difficult to find Ceylon cinnamon in supermarkets. They just don’t seem to stock it, and if they do, it’s usually insanely expensive for a very small amount. Fortunately, I discovered this raw, organic Ceylon cinnamon powder from Sevenhills Wholefoods and couldn’t be more pleased with it.If you’re familiar with Ceylon cinnamon, you’ll immediately recognise that this is genuine Ceylon cinnamon, the variety native to Sri Lanka and South East India. If you haven’t tried it before, the difference is evident from the moment you open the package, even before you taste it. The aroma is much more vibrant and earthy compared to Cassia, and the texture is soft and slightly fibrous, as it should be, rather than the overly processed powders you get elsewhere. I use this cinnamon in everything, from my morning health drinks and porridges to homemade breads, desserts, and dishes, and the flavour it imparts is unbeatable. It’s more subtle than Cassia, yet it still has a complexity that really enhances both sweet and savoury dishes.I also love that this product is raw and organic, meaning I can enjoy it knowing the nutrients haven’t been destroyed by overheating and without worrying about pesticides or harmful chemicals. Plus, the health benefits of Ceylon cinnamon are well-documented. It helps with blood sugar control, is anti-inflammatory, and contains much lower levels of coumarin, which is a big plus for someone like me who consumes cinnamon daily, and I have certainly felt its benefits first-hand.In terms of value, yes, it is more expensive than the cheap supermarket jars, but you need much less of it. A small amount goes a long way due to its potency, and the resealable packaging keeps it fresh for ages. I purchased the 500g bag for £12.99, and given how long it lasts, I’d say it’s an excellent investment in both health and flavour. Fast delivery and great customer service from Sevenhills only add to the experience.For anyone who consumes cinnamon regularly and cares about what you put into your body, I can’t recommend this product enough. Not only is it healthier due to its lower coumarin levels, but it’s also far superior in flavour. Once you try it, you won’t want to go back to the inferior supermarket Cassia.Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope that you found it helpful and that it assists you in your decision-making. I try to be as honest and fair as possible, as those have always been the reviews that helped me the most.

This is well packaged and tastes good

This is a massive bag for good price. Use in my smoothies will buy again

Looks fantastic, Smells Fantastic, and Tastes fantastic. You literally feel the health benefits from this super high quality organic cinnamon. Highly recommend

Couldn't tell much the difference between this and the one bought in supermarket. This should be of higher quality, but for me, the taste is the same...I'm giving this to my baby, add just a bit of this into her food, when needed, but she doesn't seem to like it when I add it, so won't buy it again.

Sevenhills were good enough to refund the full purchase price of this item - so in fairness I am updating this review from 1 to 5* purely from a Customer Service point of view.Thank you Sevenhills.Original Review -Until this purchase, we've been happy Sevenhills customers for several years, items are usually very good quality & price, Sevenhills were an automatic first choice. This purchase has fallen well short of any expectations - no characteristic smell or taste & doesn't "dissolve" in milk just floats. It is more akin to sawdust & swept up off the floor at that. As other customers have left 5* reviews for this, I can only assume something went wrong or we received a bad batch & are very disappointed.
