What it is

Sugar cinnamon is a mixture of granular sugar and ground cinnamon spice. Sugar is a common sweetener, typically sucrose, derived from sugarcane or sugar beets, while cinnamon comes from the dried inner bark of trees in the Cinnamomum genus. This blend combines the sweetness of sugar with the warm, aromatic flavor of cinnamon.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add sugar cinnamon primarily as a flavor enhancer and sweetener. It is frequently used in baked goods like croissants, sweet rolls, and muffins, as well as in desserts, ice cream, and snacks such as popcorn, nuts, and seeds.

Health notes

Both sugar and cinnamon are considered safe by the FDA when consumed in typical food amounts. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. JECFA has evaluated both sugar and cinnamon and their components.
