Cinnamon / Lavangam Pattai 50gm
Most commercial cinnamon found in supermarkets is actually Cassia, which contains high levels of coumarin—a compound that can be taxing on the liver in large amounts. Ayini Organic Cinnamon is sourced from premium varieties that prioritize a low-coumarin, high-Cinnamaldehyde profile. This is the biological active ingredient responsible for cinnamon’s legendary ability to improve insulin sensitivity and stabilize blood sugar. Switching to Ayini ensures you are getting a clean, therapeutic-grade bark that supports your metabolism without the hidden industrial additives or synthetic polishing oils.

💡 How to Prepare / Use (Step-by-Step)
Prep: To check for quality, snap a small piece of the bark; it should release an immediate, sweet, and warming scent. For the freshest flavor, grind small pieces into a fine powder using a dry spice blender just before use.
Cook/Method: When using whole sticks in savory dishes (like Pulaos or stews), add them to the hot oil at the very beginning. This "infusion" process allows the fat-soluble antioxidants to be released slowly throughout the cooking process.
Serve/Enjoy: Stir a small piece into your morning tea or coffee for a natural metabolic boost, or sprinkle the freshly ground powder over oats, fruit, or traditional desserts. For a blood-sugar-balancing tonic, simmer a cinnamon stick in water for 10 minutes and drink it warm.
