As a spice, we can find two types of cinnamon in our country, one is the Chinese cinnamon tree (Cinnamomum cassia, C. aromaticum), and the other is the more expensive Ceylon cinnamon tree (Cinnamomum zeylanicum, Cinnamomum verum). while the Ceylon one is 0.2-0.8 mm thick, while the Chinese one is 1-3 mm thick. in coumarin* content. The bark of the Chinese cinnamon tree contains 0.1-0.44% coumarin, this compound occurs only in traces in Ceylon. Coumarin: a compound that affects blood clotting and liver function. "In Europe, the food safety authorities of several countries have maximized the coumarin content of each type of food. By consuming 2 g of Cinnamomi cassiae cortex containing 0.3% coumarin per day, a 60 kg person just reaches the recommended maximum intake of 0.1 mg/kg body weight."
