Ground Cassia Cinnamon
Ground Cassia cinnamon — the bold, familiar cinnamon that has defined American baking for generations, with a direct, assertive warmth that works beautifully in recipes that call for cinnamon to be front and center.
Cassia cinnamon is what most people grew up with — it's bolder and more immediately impactful than Ceylon, with a direct warmth and slight sharpness that holds up in recipes with strong competing flavors like chocolate, molasses, or brown sugar. Fine Spice offers both Cassia and Ceylon because they serve different purposes — Cassia for bold baking applications where cinnamon needs to cut through, Ceylon for delicate preparations where nuance matters. Neither is superior; they're different tools for different outcomes.

All Fine Spice blends are made with minimal sea salt and no artificial ingredients, preservatives, or fillers. Small-batch, chef-developed, and formulated for flavor first.
HOW TO USE
Use in recipes where cinnamon needs to cut through strong competing flavors — cinnamon rolls, apple pie, snickerdoodles, or banana bread. Cassia's boldness holds up where Ceylon would be lost.
Stir generously into oatmeal, pancake batter, or French toast coating. Cassia's direct warmth works at breakfast where its assertive quality is welcome rather than overwhelming.
Add to brown sugar BBQ dry rubs for chicken, ribs, or salmon. The cinnamon adds warmth and complexity to the sweet-savory profile of BBQ seasoning.
