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
Is this a good housewarming gift?
Yes. Simply Organic Ceylon Cinnamon arrives in a recyclable glass jar that looks attractive on a new home's pantry shelf, and the fair-trade, single-origin story is a meaningful conversation starter for the recipient.
Would this work as a birthday gift for mom?
Absolutely. For a mom who bakes, drinks chai, or loves collecting beautiful pantry items, a jar of award-winning true Ceylon cinnamon is a thoughtful, useful, and well-presented gift that feels personal without being extravagant.
Is it an appropriate Valentine's Day gift for a foodie partner?
Yes. Pair the cinnamon with a tin of single-origin coffee, a bag of specialty cocoa, or a homemade chai blend for a romantic, sensory-driven Valentine's Day gift that feels more original than flowers or chocolate.
Can I include this in a holiday gift basket?
Simply Organic Ceylon Cinnamon pairs beautifully in a holiday basket with vanilla, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves for a DIY mulling spice set, or with coffee, cocoa, and a hand-written recipe card for a cozy winter gift.
Is the jar presentation gift-ready, or do I need to wrap it?
The glass jar with a metal cap looks attractive on its own, but adding a ribbon, kraft tag, or placing it in a small wooden crate elevates the presentation for gifting. The clear jar also makes it easy to see the product inside.
Is this a good gift for someone who is just starting to bake?
Yes. New bakers often use the cheapest cinnamon available, not realizing the difference. Introducing them to true Ceylon is a meaningful upgrade that will change how they experience familiar recipes like snickerdoodles and apple pie.
Would a wellness-minded friend appreciate this as a gift?
Very much. Certified organic, non-GMO, fair-trade, and packaged in recyclable glass align with the values of wellness-focused shoppers. The cinnamon fits naturally into smoothie, golden milk, and overnight oat rituals.
Is this a thoughtful thank-you gift for a host?
Yes. A jar of award-winning single-origin cinnamon is an elegant, lightweight hostess gift that the recipient will actually use. It signals taste and intentionality without being ostentatious.
What size jar is best for gifting?
The 1.08 oz and 1.94 oz multi-pack sizes are popular for gifting because they look generous without overwhelming a small pantry. For a hostess gift or stocking stuffer, the 0.75 oz is a charming, compact option.
Is this cinnamon comparable to higher-priced gift spice sets?
In terms of quality, single-origin Cinnamomum verum from a fair-trade co-op holds its own against premium gift spice collections. The flavor, sourcing, and packaging narrative are all gift-worthy, often at a more accessible price.
What is the difference between this and a cheap grocery store cinnamon as a gift?
A standard spice jar is rarely given as a gift. A jar of true Ceylon cinnamon, on the other hand, comes with a story: Sri Lankan co-op, certified organic, award-winning, recyclable glass. That story is what makes it giftable.
Will my recipient actually use it, or is it just decorative?
Simply Organic Ceylon Cinnamon is genuinely versatile. Recipients will reach for it in baking, coffee, tea, oatmeal, French toast, savory dishes, and even homemade body scrubs, making it a gift that is used often rather than stored away.
Is there a concern about giving a glass jar as a gift?
The jar is sturdy and ships well, but if you are mailing it directly to the recipient, consider adding a small layer of bubble wrap or tissue. Locally, it is a durable, gift-ready presentation.
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.
