How Cinnamon Is Made - And Why Yours Might Not Be Real

Описание: Open your spice cabinet. Find the cinnamon. The label says cinnamon. But two completely different trees share that name. One is called true cinnamon. The other is cassia. They come from different countries, taste different, and contain vastly different levels of a compound that Europe regulates and America does not.
Ninety percent of what is sold in American stores is cassia. One teaspoon of cassia can exceed the European Food Safety Authority's daily limit for coumarin. The US has no limit at all. Same label. Same word. Different product.
This is the full story — how bark is stripped, dried, and curled into the sticks and powder in your kitchen. Why one version rolls into delicate layers and the other curls into a single thick scroll. How to tell which one you have without a lab. And why the word "cinnamon" on your label might not mean what you think it means.
THE PROCESS reveals how everyday things are actually made. New videos every day.
