Lots of this lead in the cinnamon stuff for the past couple of years. Makes me wonder if cinnamon is really beneficial for something.

Ty for the heads up. We use a fair amount of cinnamon. Now I have to wonder about the meat rubs also.

Best shit ever cause it ain't fucked with for starters.
ALL of the Mexican stuff is better.
Cumin,oregano,vanilla,cinnamon,adobo,achote and on and on.
It's why Texas mexican (tex mex)dishes are better than New Mexico's mex-tex.
You been lied to,go get the good stuff

Same with turmeric. https://www.popsci.com/health/lead-tainted-turmeric-trade/

Probably alot of other spices and supplements. Most of this shit is grown in India and SE Asia. All those people are shadey and the quality control is for shit. These people cant imagine a world in which scamming is rare. Its a way of life.

I remember being in Walmart years ago and basic foods being grown in China. Insane.

Cilantro tastes like soap but flushes heavy metals.

Eat it everyday because we grow it.
I make those super shakes and drink 12oz everyday year round.
Never had the soap issue

Here’s an article that listed these brands as “best”, as rated on glyphosate, lead and cadmium content.
https://www.mamavation.com/food/cinnamon-lead-cadmium-glyphosate.html#Best_Cinnamon
Other brands listed in that article also had low lead but high glyphosate or cadmium. Some of the shitskins producing this stuff are adding adulterants to stretch their output.
