CINNAMON (Ground)

The Spice That Has Warmed the World Since the Beginning

If there is one spice that transcends culture, cuisine, and century, it is cinnamon. Traded by ancient Egyptians, coveted by Roman emperors, and carried along every great spice route in history, ground cinnamon has been finding its way into the food, drinks, and rituals of virtually every civilisation on earth for thousands of years. Sweet, warming, and instantly familiar, it is the spice that smells like comfort and tastes like home.

Flavour Profile

Warmly sweet and richly aromatic with a gentle, honeyed spiciness and a soft woody depth that lingers beautifully on the palate. Ground cinnamon delivers a rounded, mellow warmth that is neither sharp nor overpowering, making it one of the most universally loved and widely used spices in both sweet and savoury cooking. Its flavour blooms and deepens with heat, releasing a fragrant sweetness that perfumes an entire kitchen from the very first moment it hits the pan.

How to Use It

Ground cinnamon blends effortlessly into batters, doughs, spice blends, sauces, and marinades. Add it early in cooking to allow its warmth to fully integrate into the dish, or dust it over finished sweet dishes and drinks as a fragrant, visually beautiful finishing touch. In savoury cooking, use it sparingly to start as its sweetness is concentrated and can dominate if overdone. It works equally brilliantly stirred into warm drinks, baked through pastries, and layered into slow-cooked meat dishes where its sweet warmth adds a deeply satisfying complexity.

Use ground cinnamon in baked goods and pastries, spiced drinks and smoothies, Middle Eastern and North African spice blends, slow-cooked lamb and beef dishes, rice puddings and desserts, breakfast dishes, and homemade granola. It pairs beautifully with cardamom, clove, nutmeg, vanilla, honey, apple, and dark chocolate.

Recipes Where Cinnamon Shines

Ground cinnamon is the heart of a classic French Tarte Tatin, where its warm sweetness caramelises into the buttery apple filling in a way that is utterly irresistible. It is indispensable in a traditional Moroccan Lamb Tagine, where its gentle sweetness balances the richness of slow-cooked meat and dried fruit into something genuinely extraordinary. Stir it through a warming Spiced Apple and Cinnamon Porridge for a breakfast that feels like a proper act of self-care, blend it into a homemade Chai Spice Mix that makes every cup of tea an occasion, or use it to make a Classic Cinnamon Scrolls straight from the oven for one of the most rewarding baking experiences a home cook can have.
