La CANELA y su impacto histórico / Cinnamon and its historical impact.
El comercio de la canela , el clavo , jengibre y otras especies procedentes de la India se realizaba a través de la cuenca del Mediterráneo (puerto de Venecia y Génova). Los portugueses querían abaratar su coste y hacerse con el dominio de una ruta que les diera cierta hegemonía en Europa, así surgieron las primeras expediciones portuguesas (Vasco Da Gama) que bordeando África consiguieron llegar a la India y sus islas adyacentes. Debido al descubrimiento de esta nueva ruta, los portugueses se hicieron con el monopolio del océano índico, controlando el mercado de la India, China y Japón. Lisboa era entonces el principal puerto de Europa.
The trade of cinnamon, cloves, ginger and other species from India were done through the Mediterranean sea (Port of Venice and Genoa). The Portuguese wanted to low its cost and gain mastery of a route that will give certain hegemony in Europe, this is how it came the first Portuguese expeditions (Vasco Da Gama) that reached India bordering Africa and its near islands. Due to the discovery of this new route, the Portuguese had the monopoly of the Indian Ocean, controlling the market in India, China and Japan. Lisbon was the main port of Europe.

Cristobal Colón propuso a los Reyes Católicos otra ruta alternativa para llegar a la India. Él pensaba que la tierra era redonda y por tanto había otra forma de llegar a la India hasta entonces desconocida que podría dar la hegemonía comercial a España. Fue entonces, buscando una nueva ruta para conseguir la canela y otras especies cuando descubrió "las Américas".
Christopher Columbus offered to the Catholic Monarchs an alternative route to reach India. He thought that the earth was round and therefore there was another way to reach India unknown at that point, that could give commercial hegemony to Spain. It was then, looking for a new route to get the cinnamon and other species he discovered "the Americas".

Parece ser que la canela tiene un componente químico de gran similitud a la "insulina" (hormona pancreática que se encarga de trasladar la glucosa a los músculos y que controla que los niveles de glucosa en sangre sean adecuados), influyendo positivamente en el metabolismo de glucosa y de las grasas. Algo que sería muy beneficioso en personas con diabetes y sobrepeso. Pero esto sigue en estudios.
Cinnamon apparently has a very similar chemical component than the "insulin" (pancreas hormone which is responsible for move the glucose to the muscles and controlling that the blood glucose levels are appropriate), positively influencing in the glucose metabolism and the fats. Something that would be very beneficial for people with diabetes and overweight. But this still studies.

La CANELA y el menor consumo de azúcar / Cinnamon and less sugar intake
La canela además es un potente saborizante / edulcorante, y debido a esta propiedad podemos disminuir el aporte de azúcar en nuestras recetas. Disminuyendo en caso de los diabéticos una posible subida post-pandrial de azúcar y disminuyendo las kilocalorías del postre.

La canela forma parte de un gran número de recetas, ¡sobre todo de dulces! Arroz con leche, cinnamon rolls, bizcochos... y mi último descubrimiento "Obleas de canela" recién traidas de Karlovy Vary, ciudad checa cercana a Praga conocida por sus balnearios de agua mineromedicinales y por ser el lugar de residencia del Archiduque Francisco Fernando de Austria (cuyo asesinato desembocó en la Primera Guerra Mundial).
Cinnamon is part of a large number of recipes, especially sweets! Rice pudding, cinnamon rolls, biscuits ... and my latest discovery "Cinnamon Wafers" just brought from Karlovy Vary, close to Prague known for its mineral water spas and for being the residence of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria (whose assassination led to World War I) .

Pero sin duda alguna, el postre con canela que más me gusta son las "natillas". Un día, se me ocurrió hacer una versión "ligera" o "sin azúcar" de estas con un mayor contenido de canela y edulcorante. La verdad es que salieron deliciosas! Os animo a probarlas!
But the dessert with cinnamon that I like most is the "custard". One day, I decided to make a "lightweight" or "sugar free" version of these with a higher content of cinnamon and sweetener. The truth is very delicious! I encourage you to try them!
