The presence of lead in cinnamon has received a lot of coverage of late. Makes me nervous!

Hello David
Yes, there has been quite a lot about this in news reports.
I found this article helpful - see link below

This sounds good Jan, I must try it. I didn't know about the lead in cinnamon that David mentions and I had a look at your link. I buy the true Ceylon sticks and they are organic because I take cinnamon everyday in tea form. :-D

Hello Ananka
Yes, I do think if you can buy organic (and yes, it is often more expensive) more often than not it is a better quality ingredient and as the article I linked to says "Think about using cinnamon sticks if possible." which is what you are doing :)

All the best Jan
