What it is

Cinnamon powder is made from the dried inner bark of several trees belonging to the genus Cinnamomum. The bark is harvested, dried, and then ground into a fine powder. It has a warm, sweet, and woody aroma and flavor.

Why it's used

Cinnamon powder is primarily used as a spice to add flavor to a wide variety of foods, particularly baked goods, desserts, and breakfast items. It can also be used in savory dishes, beverages, and as a coloring agent.

Health notes

Cinnamon is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food flavoring. Some research suggests cinnamon may have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and may help with blood sugar control, but more studies are needed. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has also evaluated cinnamon and its components. Coumarin, a compound found in higher concentrations in cassia cinnamon, can be harmful to the liver in large doses, but typical dietary intake of cinnamon is not considered a risk.

Allergen info

Cinnamon is not one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
