Lan Gui (Cinnamomum verum), known as true cinnamon or Ceylon cinnamon, is a traditional spice that has been treasured for thousands of years in Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine. Its sweet and warming flavour adds depth, harmony, and a delicate fragrance to both savoury and sweet dishes.
Culinary use:
Lan Gui can be used as whole sticks, ground, or in small pieces. It enhances soups, stews, herbal teas, rice dishes, and desserts, and pairs perfectly with jujube (Da Zao), dang gui, ginger, or goji berries. In beverages and baked goods, it provides a comforting, aromatic note.
Natural composition:
Ceylon cinnamon naturally contains essential oils (primarily cinnamaldehyde), flavonoids, phenols, polysaccharides, and natural bitter compounds. These plant components create its signature sweet-spicy balance and make Lan Gui a versatile ingredient in mindful, modern cooking.
Scientific publications describe Cinnamomum verum as an aromatic bark rich in essential oils and plant-based antioxidants. These characterisations are informational and do not constitute health claims.
Today, Lan Gui is recognised as a natural Asian superfood, appreciated for its warming aroma, depth of flavour, and centuries-old culinary heritage.
