About this item
KEY FEATURES: Simply Organic Ground Ceylon Cinnamon is potent, “true” cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum). It has a more complex, and yet more delicate, flavor profile than the more common cassia cinnamon. Its fruity and slightly sweet taste and warm, spicy aroma won us "BEST" Ceylon Cinnamon by Epicurious in 2018. Our Ceylon Cinnamon’s mild flavor is especially suited for finer desserts with subtle flavors that will allow this cinnamon to shine, such as a chai spiced crème brulée. It’s also ideal as a finishing spice, so add it to French toast and sprinkle it on your hot cocoa. Ceylon is the type of cinnamon traditionally used in Mexican cooking, where it's found in such diverse fare as chorizo sausage, rice pudding and beverages. This Ceylon cinnamon powder’s texture and flavor also make it a great spice to include in apple compote, ice cream, pancakes and crepes. This product is packaged in a clear glass jar, so you can see what you’re getting. Bottle and metal cap are fully recyclable — and reusable. SMALL FARMER PARTNERSHIPS: Simply Organic Ceylon Cinnamon is sourced from a long standing co-op partner in Sri Lanka, where we help select and develop the product. Close relationships with suppliers allow us to actively engage in sourcing for both our Ceylon and Vietnamese Cinnamons. (Ceylon and Vietnamese cinnamon are different botanicals with very different flavor profiles — so check out both of them!)

Frequently Asked Questions
How many ingredients are in this cinnamon?
One. Simply Organic Ceylon Cinnamon contains 100% ground Cinnamomum verum. There are no anti-caking agents, fillers, preservatives, or added sugars, which fits a minimalist approach to clean ingredients.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Yes. The clear glass jar and metal cap are both fully recyclable. The jar is also designed to be reused for pantry staples like vanilla sugar, homemade spice blends, or even as a small bud vase.
Will this jar look clean and uncluttered on an open spice shelf?
Yes. The minimalist clear glass with a simple metal cap is intentionally understated. It pairs well with neutral-toned shelves, wood, stone, and other clean-design pantry staples.
Does this cinnamon help reduce the number of spices I keep on hand?
True Ceylon is versatile enough to cover both sweet and savory applications, so many minimalist cooks find it can replace multiple specialty cinnamon or spice blends in their pantry.
Is the label loud or visually distracting?
The labeling is straightforward and designed to integrate into a clean, intentional pantry. Many customers repackage the jar into a uniform container if they want a fully label-free aesthetic.
Is this cinnamon a good fit for a small kitchen with limited storage?
Yes. The 0.75 oz jar is compact enough for a small pantry or apartment kitchen, and the multi-pack options are stackable for those who use cinnamon frequently.
Can I use this single ingredient across sweet and savory recipes?
Yes. The fruity, mildly aromatic character of true Ceylon works as well in a Mexican mole as it does in a French pastry, so a single jar covers a wide range of minimalist meal preparation.
Does this cinnamon have any additives I would need to worry about?
No. Simply Organic Ceylon Cinnamon is a single-ingredient product, certified organic and non-GMO, with no anti-caking agents or fillers.
Will the glass jar look at home in a neutral-toned, intentional kitchen?
Yes. The transparent glass, simple metal cap, and clean label pair well with natural wood, marble, ceramic, and stone surfaces common in minimalist kitchens.
How does this compare to a conventional cinnamon in terms of ingredient list?
Most conventional cinnamon bottles also list a single ingredient, but the difference is the source. Simply Organic Ceylon is true Cinnamomum verum, not the more common cassia, with certified organic and fair-trade verification.
Is there a more minimal way to buy cinnamon?
Bulk bins are an option, but they typically cannot verify single-origin sourcing, organic certification, or fair-trade practices. Simply Organic offers the cleanest possible ingredient list with verified provenance, which aligns with intentional, minimalist values.
Is a glass jar really better than plastic for a minimalist pantry?
Yes, for several reasons. Glass does not absorb odors or flavors, it is fully recyclable, and it can be reused indefinitely for other pantry items, which reduces the number of containers a minimalist kitchen needs to own.
Will the jar take up too much visual space on an open shelf?
The jar is compact and clean-lined. Many minimalist customers display it alongside a few other staples like flaky salt, vanilla, and a neutral oil to create a curated, breathable shelf vignette.
How do I use this ground Ceylon cinnamon in everyday cooking?
Simply Organic Ground Ceylon Cinnamon is a versatile single-ingredient spice. Use a quarter teaspoon in coffee, tea, or smoothies, half a teaspoon in oatmeal or yogurt, and one to two teaspoons in baked goods like snickerdoodles, banana bread, or apple pie. It also shines in savory dishes like chorizo, Mexican rice pudding, and braised lamb.
What is the best way to store this cinnamon after opening?
Keep the jar tightly sealed with the metal cap and store it in a cool, dry, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. Properly stored, the flavor will stay vibrant for up to two years. Avoid refrigerating, as moisture can cause clumping.
Can I use this cinnamon in place of regular cinnamon in a recipe at a 1:1 ratio?
Yes. True Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) can be substituted one-for-one for any recipe that calls for ground cinnamon. Because Ceylon has a more delicate, slightly sweet flavor, you may find you need slightly less to achieve the same aromatic impact in dishes like French toast, pancakes, or chai-spiced desserts.
Is this cinnamon compatible with a spice rack organizer that uses standard-sized jars?
The Simply Organic Ceylon Cinnamon jar measures approximately 2 inches wide and 4 inches tall for the 1.08 oz size. It fits most standard round spice rack organizers, drawer inserts, and small cabinet lazy Susans. Larger size variations may require a deeper shelf.
Can I refill this jar from a bulk bin of cinnamon?
The glass jar is designed to be reusable. Many customers rinse, dry, and refill it with bulk spices, homemade blends, vanilla sugar, or even non-food items like bath salts. The metal cap provides a tight seal suitable for refilling.
What comes in the box when I order this cinnamon?
Your order includes the Simply Organic Ground Ceylon Cinnamon in a clear recyclable glass jar with a reusable metal cap, sealed for freshness. A multi-pack contains two individually sealed jars. No additional accessories are required to begin using the product.
Is this cinnamon safe to consume daily?
Yes, in typical culinary amounts. True Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) naturally contains far lower levels of coumarin than common cassia cinnamon, making it a preferred choice for people who enjoy cinnamon daily in coffee, oatmeal, smoothies, and baked goods. As with any food, moderation is recommended.
How do I know if my jar of cinnamon is still fresh?
Fresh ground cinnamon has a strong, sweet, slightly fruity aroma. If the scent has faded significantly or the powder has lost its reddish-brown color, it is time to replace it. Properly sealed and stored, Simply Organic Ceylon Cinnamon stays fresh for up to two years from the production date.
What is the difference between Ceylon cinnamon and cassia cinnamon?
Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) is true cinnamon, native to Sri Lanka, with a delicate, sweet, slightly citrusy flavor and very low coumarin content. Cassia cinnamon, the variety most commonly sold in supermarkets in North America, has a stronger, spicier, more pungent flavor and higher coumarin levels. Ceylon is generally considered the premium choice for both flavor and dietary reasons.
