News Analysis: Denmark Bakers Decry Cinnamon Roll Limitations By European Union regarding Cinnamon’s Chemical Coumarin Content. Quite often people are Addled by Cassia Cinnamon (Cinnamomum Cassia) vis-a-vis Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum Zeylanicum) also ‘True Cinnamon’ Cinnamomum Verum, that has Very Minimal Coumarin. Since the Chemical Coumarin, in larger amounts than a Cinnamon Roll, can harm the Kidneys and/or Liver, especially Cassia Bark Cinnamon, Its Use Is Discouraged.
Perhaps the Bakers of Denmark should Produce and Market “Ceylon ‘True Cinnamon’ Rolls” to inform both the Public and well-intentioned, but misinformed, Bureaucrats about ‘Cinnamon Truths’. Another Vested Interest Group surely would be Cinnamon Growers in Sri Lanka; they have much to lose due to Bureaucratic Ignorance regarding Coumarin in “Cinnamon”.
Investors may consider funding projects for developing Cinnamon Verum Production since all the other Tree Barks’ Cinnamon (TBC) allegedly contain higher levels of Coumarin. As the world gets informed of Pharmacological Differences in ‘TBC’, some Entrepreneurs will prosper; if they develop Cinnamomum Verum (Cinnamomum Zeylanicum) orchards and Process this Spice for International Sales.
The “Phoenix Bird” allegedly built its Nest out of Cinnamon Bark, Perhaps a re-birth of Cinnamon Verum will occur out of the “Ashes of Ignorance” regarding other Cinnamons.
