Cinnamon+powder-p1.html" target='_blank'>cinnamon powder is a spice which is a key ingredient in many foods from around the world. It is frequently used in making sweets ranging from apple pie, cinnamon buns, and other pastries to chocolate (particularly in Mexico). It is used in teas and in liqueurs. Cinnamon powder is also a main ingredient in Persian cuisine and other dishes of Middle Eastern or Asian origin and can be employed in pickling.
Cinnamon is a low-calorie spice with only twelve calories in two teaspoons of cinnamon powder. It is very low in protein and fat but does provide about 10% of the daily recommended fiber in those two teaspoons of cinnamon powder. Cinnamon powder is an excellent source of manganese, providing over one-third of the recommended daily intake of manganese in a two-teaspoon serving of cinnamon powder. That same two teaspoons of cinnamon powder provides about 10% of your daily iron and 6% of your daily calcium requirement as well.
Cinnamon powder lasts a long time if stored well. Herbal teas often use cinnamon to complement a tea leaf that is a little less flavorful. Cinnamon is used in apple teas as well, harkening memories of apple cider.
