Cinnamon seeds

We have a fully grown cinnamon tree that flowers during the Christmas season After it gets its first shower these flowers turn into seeds and we get to see a sea of them on the ground The entire area is strewn with seeds. I got them collected yesterday and clicked a photo. I think that is all I will do with them as although on browsing I see they are edible and are useful in many ways, I am not ready to eat them. What a waste! Would you eat them?

That is fascinating! I make sure to sprinkle cinnamon in some of my food every day for the health benefits. My grandmother always did too.

Cinnamon is no doubt packed with health benefits but eating berries or seeds is what I am doubtful ab8ut

@allknowing I just don’t know anything about that, but I’m sure other mylotters can be helpful. I’m just impressed you have a cinnamon tree, period. I have never known anyone who has.

I'd be willing to try eating them, yes... I like trying nuts and seeds as long as they're edible.

@allknowing I'm sorry more of it can't be consumed by something but at least it is used to make compost.

It would depend on how they are processed and cooked. I guess they are clean because they fell straight from your tree. I don't now how these seeds could be cooked though, so, I'd probably just throw them.

I love cinnamon, I have seen cinnamon trees in the Caribbean. I do not believe the seeds are edible.

@allknowing I remember they sold cinnamon in the local open markets, but not the berries.

Probably not but I do like cinnamon in some things. My mother used to make a delicious cake with a sugar and cinnamon topping.

@allknowing So is the cinnamon we use for cakes, etc, made from the seeds from your tree?

@allknowing It is better if you seek help with those scientists or agricultural person who studies things like that. They might know something about how you can use it

It is my first time to see the cinnamon seeds. I don't know how to deal with the cinnamon seeds. Perhaps it can make a kind of seasoning powder?

@allknowing In fact I also tried to look up more information but it seemed there was no very useful information about it.
