Its my day 3 taking 1 teaspoon of Cinnamon powder before bed. I don't have any illness but I notice massive improvement in digestion and experienced close to zero bloating.

Very good to know! I recently watched a video of someone who was 103 or 105 (can’t remember exact age) and he was asked what was his secret. He said how he would include 5 foods each day, such as honey, dark chocolate and cinnamon. Didn’t realise how good cinnamon was! Thanks Judi!

[@JudiintheKitchen]

Hi Jared! WOW!! That's quite a testimony...living to that ripe old age and mentioning cinnamon as part of what he eats on a regular basis!! That says something for cinnamon. Thanks so much for sharing :)

I have cinnamon tree in my backyard. Which part of the tree should i use? How should it be prepared? Your swift response is highly anticipated. Thank you.

[@JudiintheKitchen]

Hi Joseph! Thank you for watching and asking your question! Unfortunately, I have never had a cinnamon tree so I'm not equipped to answer such a question. I suggest you do a general search on the internet for that information. Surely, it will come up. I'm sorry I can't help you more. Best wishes to you and enjoy that cinnamon!! :)

How can I get the cinamon plant

[@JudiintheKitchen]

@@jermaine5675 Hi Jermaine! That's a great question, and one I've never considered. I don't know where you are in the world, but cinnamon comes from the bark of a tree in the laurel family. It is native to Sri Lanka. To the best of my knowledge, it is not grown in the United States. If the tree grows in your area, you should ask a plant nursery or a local farmer where you might be able to source a tree. Sorry I can't help more. Maybe Joseph (who commented above) will see your question and be able to help. Thanks for watching!

@@JudiintheKitchen where can we easily find cinnamon in Cameroon

[@JudiintheKitchen]

@@onpassivecameroonpiginnews2966 Hi! That's a tough question for me to answer since I don't live there. If you can't find cinnamon in any markets locally, then you may need to resort to buying it online. Do an internet search and hopefully you'll find a vendor that can ship it to you. It may take some searching, but surely there's some vendor that can get it to you! Thanks for watching and asking. Best wishes to you and yours :)

does cinnamon help with blood flow

[@JudiintheKitchen]

Hi Susan! Thank you for watching and asking your question! Cinnamon is a "warm" spice. Warming spices are known help dilate blood vessels thereby promoting blood flow and also reducing blood pressure. So, yes, cinnamon can help with blood flow! I hope this helps :) Take care and best wishes to you :)

[@akinselititilayo7167]

What can I had to my cinnamon to make it nice.

[@JudiintheKitchen]

Hi! That's an interesting question, and one I'm not sure I can really answer. Cinnamon is used to add flavor to other foods. The key is to not add too much, or it will be overpowering in flavor. I don't think there's much you can do to change the flavor of cinnamon. Perhaps a bit of honey used along with cinnamon will take some of the "bite" out of it. But that would depend on what food you're adding the cinnamon and honey to (it depends on if both flavorings would go well with the selected food). Maybe you should try a different type of cinnamon. Ceylon cinnamon and cassia cinnamon differ somewhat in flavor. Cassia cinnamon (the common, less expensive variety) is more intense in flavor, whereas Ceylon cinnamon (the more expensive type, and a little harder to find) is much more mild in flavor. Perhaps you should try Ceylon cinnamon and try using less of it. You can always add more, but it's hard to counteract the flavor when too much was added to a food. If you have a dish that you've prepared and it's too spicy with cinnamon, adding a little milk may help, if milk is appropriate for the food. Since I'm not sure what your dilemma is, it's difficult for me to give an appropriate answer. Nevertheless, I hope this helps! Thanks for watching :)
