What to know about cinnamon
Cinnamon is high in salicylates, so people on a low-salicylate diet often react to it even in the small amounts used in baking, oatmeal and coffee. A separate, unrelated point worth knowing: most supermarket cinnamon is cassia, which is high in coumarin, while Ceylon (true) cinnamon has far less. That matters if you take cinnamon daily or as a supplement rather than an occasional sprinkle.
Watch for
- High in salicylates, a common hidden trigger in cinnamon toast, chai, oatmeal and baked goods
- Most ground cinnamon sold is cassia, which is high in coumarin; Ceylon (true) cinnamon contains roughly 250 times less
- Coumarin only becomes a real concern with daily or supplement-level cassia, not an occasional pinch
