In moderation
Cinnamon
قرفة
A natural sweet spice — allowed only within the strictest limits; not to be taken lightly
Why
Used in hot drinks, sweets, and cooking with meat; choose natural Ceylon cinnamon when possible. It is a potent spice, though — don't underestimate it and keep to moderate amounts; consuming a lot is not recommended. A special note for pregnant women: best to avoid using it heavily.
