Benefits of cinnamon.

MF Cinnamon is a heavily preferred household spice and has been used around the world for centuries. Once traded as currency, this spice has a lovely flavour and heartfelt smell that has made it popular in cooking, particularly in baking and curries. The spice originates from the inner bark of a small evergreen tree. The bark is peeled and laid in the sun to dry up, where it curls up into rolls known as cinnamon sticks. The cinnamon is then grinded out to make a powder with nothing else added to it.

At MF Products, we love cinnamon for more reasons than one. We’ve already told you how it can be used in coffee and cake. Now it’s time to look at how it’s good for you.

 

We’ve spoken about the variety of spices that possess anti-bacterial functions and cinnamon isn’t any different. The distinctive smell and flavour of cinnamon derives from the essential oils contained in the bark, called cinnamaldehyde. Cinnamaldehyde displays antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties too. All of which can be very helpful for the body. MF Cinnamon is also a useful source of manganese and contains small amounts of calcium and fibre.

 

Another function cinnamon has that is very beneficial is its breath-freshening powers. Cinnamaldehyde comes into play, killing that troublesome oral bacteria. To achieve fresher breath, chew on some cinnamon gum or make your own mouthwash by boiling 5 cinnamon sticks in 1 cup of water for 5 minutes, then use it as you would a regular mouthwash! It’s amazing the purposes cinnamon can have apart from being in food.

 

Lastly cinnamon has anti-oxidant properties. Anti-oxidants are important because they help the body reduce oxidative stress, which has been proven to damage cells and contribute to nearly every chronic disease, including type 2 diabetes. Surprisingly, cinnamon’s antioxidant capabilities are superior to that of many well-known superfoods! Which simply just emphasises how good MF Cinnamon is going to be!

 

At the end of the day,  MF Cinnamon is one of the most delicious and healthiest spices on the planet.

 

It can lower blood sugar levels, reduce heart disease risk factors and has a plethora of other impressive health benefits that are bound to blow your mind.
