SAMIA ground cinnamon is a fine cinnamon powder, sold in a 100 g pouch. It is measured by the pinch and instantly flavours pastries, hot drinks and simmered dishes. Its composition is 100% cinnamon, with no other ingredient.
What is ground cinnamon?
Ground cinnamon is obtained by grinding the dried bark of the cinnamon tree. In this form, it releases its aroma immediately, unlike the stick which infuses more gradually. The SAMIA pouch label does not specify the species (Ceylon cinnamon or Cassia cinnamon) nor the country of origin: check the packaging received if you are looking for a specific variety.
How to use it?
A pinch is enough: sprinkle it over a pastry, a compote, rice pudding, French toast or a hot drink (coffee, chocolate, tea). Mix it into a cake batter or a cream from the start of preparation so its aroma develops. In Maghrebi savoury cooking, it flavours tagines and simmered meat dishes.
What to pair it with?
It pairs with SAMIA whole green cardamom and SAMIA 4 spices. Find a step-by-step recipe in our Moroccan tagine, and all the spices in the Moroccan and Maghrebi cuisine department.
