Cinnamon comes from the bark of cinnamon trees (which makes sense to me) and I’m sure you’ve experienced it in cookies, cereal or on top of an occasional cappuccino.
Cinnamon powder is made from ground bark and is frequently used in baking. Cinnamon sticks can be used in mulled (warmed and sweetened) cider or tea. Indian sauces often use cinnamon as a thickener as well as a flavor.
Ground spices last a few months while whole ones, stored properly, will last for a year. Store both away from strong light and moisture.
Next time you make pancakes or French toast, let a little cinnamon in to spice things up!
