Ground cinnamon to buy: warm, sweet and versatile

Ground cinnamon is one of the most beloved spices in the world. Thanks to its warm, slightly sweet and aromatic flavor, cinnamon is indispensable in both sweet and savory dishes. Think apple pie, stewed pears, oatmeal and cookies, but also curries, tagines and spiced marinades.

At Natural Spices you can order high-quality ground cinnamon, available in various packages for both home use and the professional kitchen.

How is ground cinnamon made?

Cinnamon is obtained from the inner bark of the cinnamon tree (Cinnamomum). After the bark is harvested, it naturally dries into the familiar cinnamon sticks. By finely grinding these, ground cinnamon is produced.

Worldwide, Ceylon cinnamon and Cassia cinnamon are the best-known varieties. Both have their own character. Ceylon cinnamon is refined and mild in flavor, while Cassia cinnamon is more powerful, fuller and slightly sweeter. Which variant suits best depends on the dish and your personal preference.

What do you use ground cinnamon for?

Ground cinnamon is surprisingly versatile and fits into many more dishes than just the traditional apple pie.

Use cinnamon for example in:

• oatmeal or yogurt
• apple pie, cake and cookies
• applesauce and stewed pears
• pancakes and French toast
• hot chocolate or coffee
• smoothies
• curries and tagines
• rice dishes
• spice blends for meat or vegetables

Because of its warm, slightly sweet taste, cinnamon also combines excellently with spices such as cardamom, ginger, clove, nutmeg and star anise.

The characteristic flavor of cinnamon

For many people, the smell of cinnamon immediately evokes a feeling of warmth and coziness. It's no coincidence this spice is popular during the autumn and winter months. Still, cinnamon is a year-round flavor enhancer that gives both sweet and savory dishes more depth.

A small amount is often already enough to give a dish a rich and aromatic character.
