Cinnamon has a long history as a spice and a medicine.  It is one of the oldest spices and is also mentioned in the Bible.  At one time, it was considered more precious than gold.  It was even used as an embalming agent by the ancient Egyptians.

It still has many uses today, such as making cinnamon toast.  It can also be added to black beans for use in burritos or nachos for a uniquely delicious flavor. 

It provides health benefits such as anti-clotting actions, anti-microbial activity, and blood sugar control.  It is an excellent source of manganese and dietary fiber, calcium and iron.

Watkins Cinnamon is my choice when cooking and making delicious treats.
