What it is

Korintje cinnamon is a type of cinnamon, specifically from the *Cinnamomum burmannii* tree, native to Indonesia. It is made from the dried inner bark of the tree, which is ground into a powder. Korintje cinnamon has a milder, sweeter flavor compared to other varieties like Ceylon or Cassia.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add Korintje cinnamon primarily as a flavoring agent. Its sweet and warm notes make it a popular choice in baked goods, cereals, oatmeal, and spice blends. It can also be used in beverages and savory dishes to add depth of flavor.

Health notes

Korintje cinnamon is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of antioxidants and has been studied for potential anti-inflammatory properties. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cinnamon, but specific numeric limits for Korintje are not typically specified in US regulations. Evidence regarding health benefits is still developing, and it's important to consume it as part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info
