Why This Isn't Your Grocery Store Cinnamon
Most "cinnamon" on shelves is actually cassia — a cheaper, harsher bark. Here's how we're different.
| From Byadgi (Ceylon) | Grocery Store (Cassia) | |
|---|---|---|
| Variety | Ceylon cinnamon: sweet, delicate and complex | Usually cassia: harsher and more one-note |
| Freshness | Manufacturing date printed on every pouch | Usually only a best-by date |
| Cost | $10.67 per 100 g at regular price, for tested, traceable cinnamon | Often cheaper per ounce, but with no testing or source shown |
| Lab testing | 105 tests per batch: pesticides, heavy metals, aflatoxins, salmonella, E. coli | Results rarely shared |
| What's inside | One ingredient: cinnamon. Nothing else. | May contain fillers, anti-caking agents or blending |
| Full transparency | Batch number, manufacturing date and lab report (QR code) on every pouch, from a family 40 years in the trade | Little beyond the label; often unclear who packed it or where |
Reviews of Cinnamon Powder

Why $24 when I can get cinnamon at the store for less?
Most cinnamon at the grocery store isn't Ceylon — it's cassia, a cheaper bark with a harsher, one-note flavor. Real Ceylon cinnamon costs more to source because it's a different species entirely, prized for its sweet, delicate complexity.
Our 225g pouch is 4–5× bigger than what boutique spice brands sell. At $10.67 per 100g, you're paying less than half what they charge for real Ceylon cinnamon.
What makes this cinnamon different from what I find at the store?
Freshness and purity. Most grocery store cinnamon has been sitting in a warehouse for months before it even reaches the shelf — by the time you open it, the aroma is already fading. Ours is freshly ground, single-origin from India, and packed without fillers or additives. One ingredient: cinnamon. You'll notice the difference the moment you open the pouch.
How can I tell if my cinnamon is fresh?
Open the pouch and smell it. Fresh cinnamon has a warm, sweet, complex aroma that fills the room. Stale cinnamon smells flat, dusty, or barely smells at all. Colour is another clue — fresh cinnamon powder is a rich, warm brown. If it looks pale or grey, it's lost its potency.
Can I use cinnamon powder instead of cinnamon sticks?
Yes. Use ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon for every one cinnamon stick your recipe calls for. Powder blends into batters, drinks, and sauces more easily. For slow-cooking dishes where you'd remove the stick later, you can still use powder — just add it earlier so the flavor infuses throughout.
What can I use cinnamon powder in?
Almost everything. Baking (cinnamon rolls, pie, cookies, banana bread), drinks (chai, golden milk, coffee, lattes, smoothies), breakfast (oatmeal, yogurt, French toast), savory dishes (curries, biryani, garam masala), and even sprinkled on fruit. The delicate sweetness works in both sweet and savory — it won't overpower anything.
Is this tested for contaminants?
Yes. Every batch is third-party lab tested for purity. One ingredient: Ceylon cinnamon. No fillers, no additives, no blending with cassia.
What makes From Byadgi different?
We're a family from Byadgi, Karnataka — with over 40 years in the spice business. Three retail shops, a wholesale network, and end-to-end control from sourcing to delivery. Every batch is hand-selected, third-party lab tested, and Non-GMO verified.
How should I store it?
Keep in the original sealed pouch or transfer to an airtight container. Store in a cool, dark place — not above your stove. Always use a dry spoon. Best within 12 months of the manufacturing date printed on the pouch for the fullest aroma. Stored well, it keeps nicely beyond that, and many of our customers use it longer.
Is shipping free?
Free shipping on all U.S. orders over $36. Orders placed by 2 pm PT (Mon–Fri) ship the same day, with full tracking.
What if I'm not happy?
You're covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee. If the spices don't meet your expectations or arrive damaged, email us and we'll refund or replace them. We're a family business — your trust means everything to us.
