Re: another cinnamon question

[Guest guest]

Hi Barry,

I'd be cautious about the $1.00 one - the latin name for cinnamon is

Cinnamomum spp - I sell herbs for a living, and Ive never heard of that one.

Hi Barry,

The $3.99 is probably a name brand while the $1.00 is store brand. Should be

no difference in them other than price.

Hi ,

I looked up canela molida last night and McCormicks does use this name with

their cinnamon. I'd never heard of it either.

We've had this discussion before. The consensus, IIRC, was that the

evidence is conflicting, but that

a. It can't do any harm and

b. It tastes delicious, so

why not?

>From what i've been reading cinnamn will help lower blood glucose..

I just saw 2 versions at my local grocery store (large store NY area)..

1 bottle was priced at $1.00 and says ground cinnamon (canela molida).

The second bottle was priced at $3.99 for the same size and said ground

cinnamon.

So what is the differnce and will the $1 bottle work???

Thanks.

" Canela " is Spanish for cinnamon. " Molida " means 'ground' or 'milled.'

You may want to try COSTCO (or another of the warehouse stores).

After buying the $3.00 plus smalll bottle of cinnamon at my local

grocery --- I found a HUGE bottle at Costco for less than $5.00

I am at work and don't have access to tell you the exact size, but it

was at least 10 times the volume.

the " recommendation " is a teaspoon a day. and some say that you can make

your own capsules. There are tons of info on the net about it...

I have a wonderful recipe that is cinnamon chicken... sooo good. Easy to

make too, though I " spruce " it up when I make it. cube some chicken breasts

(I would say 2 or 3) sprinkle with about a teaspoon to a teaspoon and a

half of cinnamon, add some " Italian " spice (oregano, thyme, basil). I cook

up an onion and some garlic in it too. Just " stir fry " this in as little

oil as possible.

I serve over quinoa (ancient grain http://www.quinoa.net/) with lots of

veggies.

tomato dishes and it will do cut the acidity.
