Cinnamon is a spice that comes from the inner bark from the Cinnamomum Tree. It has been traditionally used for its medicinal purposes, but over time has found its way onto our plates. This spice is loaded with antioxidants, has anti-inflammatory properties, regulates your metabolic rate of insulin, lowers blood sugar levels, and can help reduce your risk of heart disease.
