Cinnamon might be a star in human cuisine for its flavor, but that’s not why it’s in our fish food. (Yes, it does make our feeds smell delightful, but we promise there’s more to it than that!) Let’s dive into what makes cassia cinnamon so extraordinary:

• Natural Antimicrobial Properties: Cassia cinnamon stands out because it contains higher levels of cinnamaldehyde compared to its cousin, Ceylon cinnamon. This compound boasts strong antimicrobial and antifungal properties, keeping harmful bacteria and fungi at bay.
• Immune Booster: Packed with antioxidants, cassia cinnamon helps bolster your fish’s immune system, giving them a fighting edge against stress and disease.
• Digestive Aid: Cinnamon doesn’t just protect—it supports. By encouraging enzyme secretion and promoting healthy gut flora, it ensures better nutrient absorption, especially for fish species prone to digestive challenges.
• Anti-Parasitic Potential: Beyond its antimicrobial prowess, cinnamaldehyde has been shown to help prevent parasitic infections, adding another layer of defense for your aquatic friends.

Cassia cinnamon’s potent antimicrobial and antifungal properties don’t just support fish health—they also act as natural preservatives in our feeds, ensuring quality and freshness. It’s a little ingredient with a big impact!

We purchase our Cassia Cinnamon pre-dried and powdered to save time and money. The only processing we do on-site is a quick quality check to ensure that only the best ingredients go into our fish feed.

Sustainable Sourcing:

The cassia cinnamon we use is sourced from suppliers who prioritize sustainable harvesting methods, ensuring minimal impact on native ecosystems. By supporting responsibly managed plantations, we help maintain the delicate balance of biodiversity.

‍

Supporting Local Communities:

Many cassia cinnamon farms are operated by smallholder farmers. By working with ethical suppliers, we ensure that these communities receive fair wages and benefit from sustainable practices.

‍

Eco-friendly Practices:

From the farm to our fish food, we aim to minimize the environmental footprint of cassia cinnamon production. This includes reducing the use of chemical fertilizers, supporting organic methods, and promoting sustainable shipping practices.

A Natural choice for Preservation:

By leveraging cassia cinnamon’s natural antimicrobial properties, we reduce the need for artificial preservatives in our feeds. This creates a product that’s better for your fish and better for the environment.

• Ancient Luxury: Cassia cinnamon has been valued for thousands of years—so much so that it was once considered more precious than gold in ancient Egypt.
• A Natural Wonder: The cinnamaldehyde in cassia cinnamon doesn’t just fight bacteria in fish food; it’s also what gives cinnamon its signature spicy-sweet aroma.
• Cinnamon Trees for the Win: A single cassia tree can produce cinnamon bark for decades, making it a renewable resource when harvested sustainably.
• Fish Dig It: While humans love the taste of cinnamon, fish benefit from its gut-soothing properties—proof that nature works wonders in unexpected ways!
• Not All Cinnamon Is Created Equal: Cassia cinnamon is more robust and aromatic than its “true” cinnamon cousin, Ceylon cinnamon, making it perfect for functional uses like antimicrobial protection.

Yes, cassia cinnamon is safe for most commonly kept aquarium fish when used in the correct amounts. We carefully control the inclusion rate in our feeds to ensure it provides benefits without any risk to your aquatic companions.

When used in proper concentrations, cassia cinnamon is highly beneficial. However, excessive amounts could lead to digestive irritation or stress due to its strong bioactive compounds. That’s why we’ve formulated our feeds with the perfect balance.
