Harvesting

Organic cinnamon is typically harvested from the inner bark of Cinnamomum trees, which are native to Southeast Asia. The bark is carefully removed from the tree and then left to dry. Once dried, it curls into the familiar cinnamon sticks, which are then ground into the fine powder we are familiar with. The harvesting of cinnamon usually takes place during the rainy season, which is when the bark is most pliable and can be easily removed from the tree.

The natural composition of organic ground cinnamon includes cinnamaldehyde, which is responsible for its distinct flavour and aroma. It is also rich in antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties. The product is typically a warm brown colour, with a sweet and woody fragrance.

The organic nature of Organic Ground Cinnamon means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Ground Cinnamon in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.

The History of Organic Ground Cinnamon

Organic ground cinnamon has a rich and storied history dating back to ancient times. Originating from the inner bark of the Cinnamomum tree, this aromatic spice was favoured in ancient Egypt and was used in embalming rituals. It was also a valuable commodity in ancient Rome and was considered a symbol of wealth and luxury.
