Cinnamon

The sweet warmth of this spice (made from tree bark) is a natural in baked goods like our low-fat cinnamon rolls. But that toasty essence also adds an I-can’t-quite-put-my-finger-on-it richness and fullness to savory foods, too.

Our Secret Twists 

• Stir ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon into your favorite chicken salad recipe.
• Lend Mediterranean flair to your next batch of spaghetti with meat sauce by browning the meat with ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon; or simmer the sauce with 1 cinnamon stick.
• Use ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon to add subtle sweetness to a spice rub for pork, duck, or game.
