I have heard that a lot of cinnamon is actually ground wood soaked with cinnamon oil. How do I know what I am purchasing?

sorry I can not help you with this. I just know I have bought Tone spices for years and have been happy with them all...The price is great on larger Tone containers of spices and I use it all the time. You could look up the difference in all cinnamons and then it would be debatable which is really the best and quality for the money.

We had a house with a butcher block countertop and the guy who installed it recommended this oil as being the best. I was told it is maple oil. The product is great, looks and feels like oil but it needs to be applied every other month to keep the wood looking beautiful. I used up all the bottles. In the meanwhile, we moved to another house, so I never needed to order the product again. But I was very pleased with it.

Hi, this is the best cinnamon on the market. It is pretty finely ground in the package (unless you buy the stick cinnamon) and blends into baking recipes or as my husband uses it, in his hot tea. For the hot cinnamon tea he just puts the cinnamon in with his tea bag by removing the bags staple, put about 1/8 teaspoon in and re-staple the bag. I've used it to make frosting for cinnamon rolls, yummy...:>))).

I noticed this scent too. It must be the way they grow and package this tea in Ceylon. I brewed up a batch for my husband's summertime iced tea. He loved it!!! I brew green tea for me. The nice thing is that when I open the black tea sealed canister I get this wonderful scent. It is also present in the brewing...makes my kitchen a delight. I think that you made a good buy. By the way, I asked my husband if the cinnamon was present in the taste. He said "no". Hope you have a good experience.

Other reviewers on Amazon revealed that this is not Ceylon Cinnamon, considered the safest. I will be looking for ceylon cinnamon now myself since i put lots of it on my oatmeal 3/4 times a week.

This is more than likely Saigon cinnamon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saigon_Cinnamon

This is the real deal, also known as organic true cinnamon. Don't let the bottle fool you, looks same, read the label. Ceylon cinnamon is much more tasteful than Cassia, the common cinnamon sold in grocery stores. Much more healthy also!

Just pure cinnamon. Nothing indicates any other ingredients. I'm happy with the product.

Saigon cinnamon is usually Cassia and not the 'real cinnamon'. The real is usually ceylon.

Sorry, I was out of town and didn't have a way to answer but this is the best cinnamon I have ever bought.. It is a pleasant taste, not bitter like regular cinnamon I'm not sure about the origin.

I've never done it but I do not think it would do any harm, the thought of cinnamon in there is refreshing, will try it and give you an update. Stay tuned.......

Always buy undiluted. You can dilute with a carrier oil of your choice Plus you always want to buy the purest oils possible

http://www.frontiercoop.com/products.php?ct=spicesft&cn=Cinnamon+Powder ... in reading this, they mention both Sri Lanka and India. They do not specifically say where they actually get there product. " True cinnamon, also known as Ceylon cinnamon, is obtained from C. verum, grown in Sri Lanka. It's tan and very mild." "Ceylon (Cinnamomum verum) This cinnamon is native to Sri Lanka (though grown in India, the East and West Indies, and Central America). The cultivated variety grows 8 to 10 feet and resembles a shrub rather than a tree. Most of the product in the U.S. is sold in the stick form."

I would go to their web site and ask them. There are two bottles and each has a long list. Too many for me to type here. It has the typical wormwood and black walnut.

I will take this question to my other sources of information and ask that question but as far a I understand Ceylon Cinnamon is what they used in the studies. I poured half into another container before adding the Ceylon Cinnamon and mixing the 2. From now on I will use the jar.

I have been using the cinnamon from Costco for over a year. I sprinkle it into my breakfast cereal daily. The total amount I am using is probably no more than 1/4 teaspoon, so not that large.As far as I can tell, it is good cinnamon.You can also check online for this particular type of cinnamon if you have additional questions.
