Day 8: Cinnamon

Cassia vs. Ceylon

Cinnamon is by far my favorite spice. It’s sweet, woody, and warm. I put it in yogurt, peanut butter, whipped cream, jam, chutney, butter, salt, sugar, popcorn, cereal… the list goes ON.

Now you may notice that sometimes your cinnamon tastes a bit grainier than usual? Or maybe that’s it’s extra powdery and sweet? That’s because there are actually two types of cinnamon: Cassia and Ceylon.
