Did you know that there is more than one kind of cinnamon? Growing in and harvested from different areas, there are two major categories of cinnamon – Cassia and Ceylon. This Ceylon cinnamon is a rare treat, while it registers as cinnamon, the effect is more subtle, with intricate flavors and almost floral notes. Preferred in Europe and Mexico for its more understated flavor, it’s perfect in dishes that don’t have competing flavors like spiced fruits, steamed puddings, or cinnamon ice cream. For a real treat, mix a little with whipped cream for an amazing topping for simple cakes, fruit pies, or in your morning coffee.
