Frontier Co-op Organic Ceylon Cinnamon, Ground, Fairtrade Certified, 16 Oz, Bulk Bag - "True Cinnamon" for Scones, Donuts, and Baked Goods

I like this organic cinnamon and I always prefer buying real cinnamon. I use it in rooibos tea in particular. I also add it to coffee sometimes or just put some in my mouth. It’s high quality and better than typical cinnamon at the grocery store. It lasts a long time too. I bought it months ago and still haven’t finished it.

Tastes 100% better than regular cinnamon you buy over the counter and is 100% better for your body than regular cinnamon. It has mild flavor which my wife prefers. Fine texture.

Great value. Good quality. Recommend

This is a high quality cinnamon with excellent flavor.

This is a great quality product at a very low price. It's fresh, finely ground texture and it smells wonderful. I only gave it four stars because it does not come in a resealable bag.

I read about how Ceylon cinnamon is supposed to be good for you, for many reasons. So, I started using it daily (just a teaspoon per day). I like to mix it with some yogurt, fruit and granola, or in overnight oats. I have also used it in smoothies, and it adds a nice flavor to them. So, not only is it good for you, but it actually tastes good, too. Ceylon cinnamon has a milder, more subtle flavor than Cassia cinnamon (which is what you will normally find in the grocery store). Cassia gives that hot/spicy cinnamon flavor, whereas Ceylon has a softer, warm cinnamon flavor. Anyway, this is a good quality Ceylon cinnamon, and you get lots of it, at a good price.

I recently acquired this form of cinnamon mainly for my son who has special needs and loves cinnamon. I prepare all his meals and every time I add the more common Cassia cinnamon (Kirkland Saigon Cinnamon) we usually have on hand I wonder how much is too much before it could be harmful. I decided to go with Ceylon so now I don't have to worry about that. Of course I had to test some myself and I have to say that this cinnamon, apart from being safer to consume, is also extremely delicious and perfectly aromatic. It just has this incredible flavor that is superior to any of the other cinnamon I have ever had. The truth is I used to think the Kirkland brand of Cassia/Saigon was excellent in terms of flavor (although a safety concern) but this Frontier Ceylon puts the Kirkland in a very distant second place in terms of flavor and the huge bonus of also not being a safety concern. How perfect that it is both safer to consume and surprisingly much tastier. Describing flavor is not easy to articulate but this Frontier Ceylon we received is complex and yet subtle. It just hits all the right notes as far as I am concerned. Do yourself a favor and whether it be for life experience of trying something incredibly tasty, or just because it is safer to consume than Cassia (or both reasons), try some of this incredible cinnamon.

I purchased the ‘Frontier Herb Organic Powdered Ceylon Cinnamon’ after I learned that not all cinnamon is the same, and that some varieties can actually be harmful. Since I use liberal amounts of cinnamon daily, I thought it would be a good idea to replace my current cinnamon stock with the ‘real’ stuff. After reading all the positive reviews posted here, this brand seemed to be a no-brainer. Based on the several articles that I’ve read (and as suggested in some of the reviews posted on Amazon), ‘Ceylon’ Cinnamon is supposed to be the ‘real’ cinnamon with a sweeter and milder flavor versus the other cinnamon varieties out there, which have been described as spicy, hot and synthetic tasting (like Red Hot candies, etc.). I was curious to know what kind of cinnamon is used in the brand that I currently use (Simply Organic) since it already tastes sweet, mild and real ‘cinnamony’ (the kind of taste you’d find in coffee cakes, sticky buns, raisin breads and so on). Is it possible that the cinnamon that Simply Organic uses is actually Ceylon, which is why it tastes so good, sweet and ‘cinnamony’? Having read all the reviews, blogs and articles about how amazing, sweet and mild Ceylon cinnamon is, I couldn’t wait to receive this order. So, imagine my surprise when I opened the bag of ‘Frontier Herb Organic Powdered Ceylon Cinnamon’ and took a whiff of the contents and quickly realized that it is the complete opposite of what has been stated in just about every article I’ve read on the topic. Frontier Herb Organic Powdered Ceylon Cinnamon tastes and smells like crushed cloves, nutmeg (or Allspice) and has a bit of a harsh spicy bite to it. It does not taste or smell like the cinnamon you’d find in cinnamon raisin bread, cinnamon rolls, coffee cake or anything that you’d associate with that great cinnamon taste. This cinnamon smells and tastes like a harsh and somewhat spicy-hot mixture of cloves, Big-Red gum and Red Hot candies with just a touch of cinnamon. So, the question is, does Ceylon Cinnamon really taste like this, or did Frontier Herb mislabel the bag and I received a different kind of cinnamon? Or, perhaps I’ve been using a Cassia cinnamon variety all along and just prefer that sweet and mild flavor. But, if this is the case, could it be that all the bloggers out there had the taste descriptions backwards, and it is the Ceylon cinnamon that is spicy and less sweet? TL;DR - Am I the only one who thinks that this cinnamon tastes very harsh, like nutmeg/cloves? Is there a better, sweeter tasting (and healthy) cinnamon out there? I really just want a sweet cinnamony tasting cinnamon that I can use in liberal amounts without it harming my internal organs!

Product arrived safely. Just what we wanted, a really great product. Taste is more refined than the usual cinnamon purchased at most supermarkets.

You can actually taste the difference between this and cassia cinnamon
