Cinnamon (Cassia) - Ground - 2oz

Cinnamon is one of the most universally loved spices, and in Moroccan and Levantine cooking it plays a savory role as often as a sweet one. This is organic cassia cinnamon — bold, warm, and woody, with a more assertive character than Ceylon. It's the cinnamon used in tagines, slow-braised lamb, and spiced rice, as well as in pastries, semolina porridge, and the spiced coffee of Moroccan café culture.

Flavor Profile

Warm, woody, and sweet with a slightly pungent edge. More intense and lingering than Ceylon cinnamon. Deeply familiar and broadly versatile.

Recommended Uses

– Essential in Moroccan tagines and braised meat dishes

– Incorporate into baked goods, cookies, and semolina cakes

– Stir into tomato-based sauces and shakshuka

Cooking Tips

Add early in cooking for savory dishes to let the flavor mellow. In baking, pair with cardamom and nutmeg for a North African-inflected spice profile.
