Cinnamon's high cost is primarily due to its labor-intensive harvesting process, as it involves hand-picking the inner bark of specific cinnamon trees. The limited growing regions, predominantly in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, also contribute to its scarcity. Additionally, the demand for high-quality Ceylon cinnamon versus cheaper Cassia varieties further drives up prices. Climate conditions and the time required for trees to mature before they can be harvested also play a role in its expense.

Does Aldi cinnamon contain coumarin?

Aldi cinnamon, like many other commercial cinnamon products, may contain coumarin, especially if it is sourced from Cassia cinnamon, which is more common and less expensive than Ceylon cinnamon. Coumarin can pose health risks in large quantities, so it's advisable to check the packaging or contact Aldi directly for specific information about their cinnamon products. If you're concerned about coumarin intake, consider using Ceylon cinnamon, which has significantly lower levels.
