Natural Ground Cinnamon
Cinnamon is one of the oldest and most prized spices throughout history, extracted from the bark of the Cinnamomum tree and ground to produce a golden-brown powder with a warm aroma and an irresistible sweet-spicy flavor. It contains the active compound cinnamaldehyde, which gives it its exceptional medicinal and nutritional properties.
