Ground Cinnamon Measuring FAQs

What is the difference between Cassia and Ceylon cinnamon? ▾

Cassia is darker, spicier, and high in coumarin (the standard grocery cinnamon), whereas Ceylon (true cinnamon) is tan, delicately floral, and low in coumarin.

Does cinnamon inhibit yeast fermentation? ▾

Yes, cinnamon contains essential cinnamaldehyde oils that have natural antimicrobial properties; always incorporate cinnamon into fillings rather than kneaded directly into yeast dough.
