Cinnamon:
While most popular during the cold winter months, cinnamon is available throughout the year. The brown bark from the cinnamon tree is available in two forms: dried sticks and ground powder. Cinnamon is known for its anti-clotting, anti-microbial, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is sometimes used as a food preservative, and helps control blood sugar, boost brain function, improve colon health, and protect against heart disease. Cinnamon is rich in manganese, fiber, iron, and calcium.
TIP: Try adding cinnamon to lamb, sautéed vegtables, oatmeal, and yams. Try some in your coffee too!
