Organic Cinnamon Powder - Tvak-dalchini (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) - USDA Certified Organic

Cinnamon is familiar aromatic spice that sparks the digestive fire and detoxifies the body. Its warm and pungent energry stimulates digestion to encourage the breakdown of Kapha in the digestive tract and throughout the body, particularly the head and chest. Its subtle aroma is powerful and penetrating, allowing it to pervade even the most subtle channels and stimulate the breakdown of accumulated fats, mucus, and toxins all throughout the body. Consequently, it fights congestion of the head and chest and improves the circulation of blood and vital fluids from head to toe.

Cinnamon benefits the heart and kidneys. In addition, this herb improves the flow of circulation and strengthens the immune system. Besides, a combination of cinnamon and honey aids in weight loss.

Cinnamon is the inner bark of a tropical evergreen tree. Cinnamon comes in 'quills', strips of bark rolled one in another. The pale brown to tan bar strips are generally thin, the spongy outer bark having been scraped off. The best varieties are pale and parchment-like in appearance. Cinnamon is very similar to cassia, and in North America little distinction is given, though cassia tends to dominate the market. Cinnamon is also available ground, and can be distinguished from cassia by its lighter colour and much finer powder.

This can be prepared by roasting the whole cinnamon and then crushing them into fine powder. A blender may be used for this purpose as cinammons are hard to be ground into powder in a mortar and pestle. Cinnamon powder is used for marinades, stews, soups or cakes and pies.

How to select:

Cinnamon can be bought whole or in the ground form.
Whole cinnamon are much more aromatic and flavoursome and if possible try to buy whole cloves as opposed to the ground powder.
Whole cinnamon should be compact and free of any blemishes.
Just like with other dried spices, when purchasing cinnamon, try to select that which is organically grown since this will give you more assurance that it has not been irradiated.
While buying packaged cinnamon powder, check the expiry date and feel for lumpiness( sign of moisture inside the packet)

Culinary Uses:

The flavour of cinnamon is quite delicate and aromatic more delicate, thus is used more in dessert dishes.
It is commonly used in cakes and other baked goods, milk and rice puddings, chocolate dishes and fruit desserts, particularly apples and pears.
It is used in curries and pilaus and in garam masala.
It may be used to spice mulled wines, creams and syrups.
In Mexico, cinnamon is added to tea and brewed.

How to store:

Whole barks of cinnamon will keep their flavour indefinitely.
Unfortunately it is difficult to grind, so for many recipes the powdered variety will be preferred.
Like other powdered spices cinnamon loses flavour quickly, so should be purchased in small quantities and kept away from light in airtight containers.

Health Benefits:

Recent studies have determined that consuming as little as one-half teaspoon of Cinnamon each day may reduce blood sugar, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels by as much as 20% in Type II diabetes patients

About Gopala Ayurveda

The Hindi meaning Gopala is ‘The Nurturer of the Cow’. The cow is an auspicious blessing from Mother Earth for the good of all humankind. They who care for the blessings which our Mother has given us, care for the Mother herself. It is through this care that the bountiful provision which is our inheritance is enjoyed, preserved and multiplied for ourselves, our children and generations to come. This is our deepest desire and purpose: that all humanity may have life and have it more fully. Our name in every way reflects this desire and the means by which we propose to pursue it. It is for this reason that we use only 100% organically grown, harvested, and processed herbs in our products, support sustainable economics, and endeavor to continue the millennia old tradition of natural and holistic science.

The roots of Gopala Ayurveda reach deep into the rich and ancient naturopathic tradition of Ayurveda. Utilizing the wisdom of this four thousand year old science with the technological potential of modern science we render these ancient formulations in a potent form, all the while maintaining faithful adherence to the formulae and therapies of the ancient texts. To this end, we have spearheaded research to develop Ayurveda’s vast herbal tradition into a comprehensive range of products to support healthiest and longest lives for our customers. These products have been met with warm reception in medical communities all over the world, and continue to serve the personal and healthcare needs of all parts of humanity.

We promote healthy foods and nutritional products, and despite utilizing the benefits of modern science and technology, we train a strict eye on all stages of development and processing to be sure that our products do not suffer contact with any toxic or synthetic chemicals. Since the birth of this project, we have focused on the development of safe and effective remedies that will help people lead richer and healthier lives.

Gopala is not simply organic, which means to be free from any chemicals, pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, artificial additives, preservatives, and heavy metals, but we are 100% Certified Organic, meaning that the customer has the added security of the USDA regulatory action which requires that all ingredients in all products be traceable through their processing history and to the place of origin. Consequently, the consumer may know both exactly where and when each herb came from and the circumstances surrounding this journey to their hands. Gopala is unique in this regard. Other manufacturers, having claimed proprietary rights to ancient formulae have taken the liberties of enhancing these revered concoctions with preservatives, synthetic substitutes, and more.
