Tips
Great ideas for purchasing, storing, and consuming cinnamon.
- Cinnamon comes in whole stick and ground form. Get both if possible for more recipe versatility.
- If you’re buying whole cinnamon sticks, look for ones that are light brown and slightly moist. They should have no mold or discoloration and should smell sweet.
- When buying ground cinnamon, look for it in a jar—it should be a dark brown powder with no lumps or clumps.
- Store cinnamon in an airtight container away from light and heat; try putting it in a small paper bag or wrapping it up in foil.
- Use it in sweet or savory dishes—cinnamon is great on toast, but also try it with vegetables like carrots or sweet potatoes.
