Ground Cinnamon

Cinnamon is more than just a sweet spice. It adds a warm, sweet aroma and sunny character to many baked goods, but it also has a savory side. It enriches and heats up Middle Eastern lamb and chicken dishes with its earthy, mahogany flavor. Cinnamon is one of the oldest and most popular spices in the world—and for good reason! You can sprinkle it on your morning cappuccino or use it to spice up your favorite chili recipes. The best way to tell if a bottle of cinnamon is fresh is to smell it. It should have a warm, rich and sweet scent, like a freshly baked cinnamon cookie.
