Why Ceylon Cinnamon is the True "King of Spices"

Cinnamon is beloved worldwide – but did you know most supermarket "cinnamon" is actually Cassia, a distant relative with hidden risks? At Navann (https://www.vakkratunda.com/), we source 100% Pure Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) directly from Sri Lanka, the spice’s birthplace. Discover why this matters for your health and taste buds.
