Cinnamon was considered an affluent and elite spice in the middle ages, Langston says, and it’s no wonder! “
Cinnamon is loaded with manganese, fiber, calcium, and iron, making it the perfect spice to add to your meals. It’s also a
natural appetite suppressant that decreases blood sugar, manages insulin, and revs up your metabolism.” Experiment with different varieties of cinnamon: try Chinese cinnamon in meat rubs, Ceylon cinnamon with fruits, yogurt, or ice cream. (We love it in
