Cinnamon Powder

Ameen Foods Cassia Cinnamon Powder is made from finely ground Cinnamomum cassia bark — the bold, aromatic variety often known as Chinese cinnamon. With its deep reddish-brown color and warm, spicy-sweet flavor, it's a staple in kitchens around the world.

Cassia cinnamon has a stronger, more assertive taste than Ceylon cinnamon, adding intensity to both sweet and savory dishes. It's perfect for curries, stews, marinades, and baking, as well as for seasoning warm beverages and desserts. Just a pinch brings comforting depth to cookies, pies, and hot drinks like chai and cocoa.

Beyond cooking, cassia cinnamon is valued for its natural fragrance, often used to make aromatic teas and home blends.

Distinctly warm and richly aromatic — Ameen Foods Cassia Cinnamon Powder brings classic comfort and bold flavor to every recipe.

How to use it

Use half to one teaspoon in a cake, porridge, rice pudding or a batch of cinnamon rolls, and a quarter teaspoon in a curry base or a meat rub. Whisk a pinch into coffee grounds before brewing, or into hot chocolate. Cassia is bold, so a teaspoon is plenty for a standard cake. Technique tip: toast it for a few seconds in the warm butter or oil before the other ingredients go in, which rounds off the sharp edge ground cassia has straight from the jar.
