If you have pigeonholed cinnamon as a purely “Christmas spice”, you are missing out on a lot during the remaining 11 months of the year. Because, aside from punch, Christmas biscuits and the like, cinnamon is used to refine many desserts throughout the year and is also an excellent secret ingredient for homemade granola or even oat porridge .
Cinnamon stimulates both circulation and digestion and is therefore the ideal addition to a healthy breakfast. Because of this, as well as its blood pressure-lowering, antispasmodic and concentration-boosting properties, it is one of the most important Ayurvedic spices.
