Cinnamon is a spice obtained from the inner bark of several trees from
the genus Cinnamomum that is used in savory foods. Cinnamon is good for
your health. For example, one teaspoon of
cinnamon
packs as much antioxidant potency as a half cup of blueberries, and
cinnamon's natural antimicrobial properties have been shown to fight
strains of E. coli.
Also, while technically not sweet, 'sweet spices' like cinnamon, nutmeg,
and ginger have been shown to boost satiety and mimic sweetness, which
allows you to cut back on sugar in nearly anything, from your morning
cup of Joe to a batch of homemade muffins.
