Purest Ground Cassia Cinnamon

Watkins Purest Ground Cassia CinnamonCinnamon is one of the world’s oldest and most popular spices; it is used in cuisines around the world and is the most important “sweet spice.” There are two kinds of cinnamon: Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) and cassia (Cinnamomum cassia).

Ceylon cinnamon (sometimes called “true” cinnamon) is native to Sri Lanka. It is a pale tan color and has an exceptionally mild flavor; very pleasant, but so delicate that it seems weak to the North American palate. Most of the Ceylon cinnamon imported into the United States is re-exported to Mexico.

Almost all of what we in North America call “cinnamon” is actually cassia, which has a more intense flavor. Watkins purchases the best cinnamon available on the market…specifically, Korintje cassia. When the cinnamon is received, it is inspected for cleanliness and freedom from foreign matter before being ground. It is our strict attention to detail that makes our cinnamon the very best available.

  • Korintje cassia: The strongest in flavor; Watkins Cinnamon contains a minimum of 2% essential oil; many others on the market contain 1 to 2%, and inferior brands have as low as .5%.
  • Strict quality control: Each shipment is tested prior to shipment and again when Watkins receives it.
  • Carefully ground and sifted: To assure uniform particle size and quality.

Enjoy Watkins superior cassia cinnamon in apple pies and on apple sauce, on ice cream and in milk-shakes, in French toast and pancake batter and on cereal or oatmeal.
