cinnamon powder?

Question

What is the difference between cinnamon powder and ground cinnamon?

Answer 1

they are the same thing. 'sifting and stuff' has nothing to do with it.

Answer 2

Cinnamon powder and ground cinnamon are the same.

Cinnamon has a long history both as a spice and as a medicine. It is the brown bark of the cinnamon tree, which is available in its dried tubular form known as a quill or as ground powder. The two varieties of cinnamon, Chinese and Ceylon, have similar flavor, however the cinnamon from Ceylon is slightly sweeter, more refined and more difficult to find in local markets.

Cinnamon or Cassia?
This cooking mainstay is also called "true cinnamon" to distinguish it from another spice, cassia - or "Indonesian cinnamon" - that is often confused with cinnamon. True cinnamon is the dried inner bark of a tropical evergreen laurel tree native to Sri Lanka and southern India. It has a light yellowish-brown color, is very fragrant, and has a sweet, warm taste.

By comparison, cassia is a medium to light reddish-brown and is thicker and harder in texture than cinnamon. Cassia has a more bitter taste. It comes from the cassia tree, an evergreen that belongs to the laurel family. It's found in China, where the buds are used to add cinnamon flavor to sweet pickles and candy.

If a recipe calls for stick cinnamon, you can identify cinnamon sticks (also called quills) by their many thin layers and fine texture. Cassia sticks are harder and comprise one thick, rolled layer. When in powdered form, it's harder to tell them apart. In the United States, much of the spice we know as "ground cinnamon" is actually a blend of cinnamon and cassia. Look for the color difference - cassia is the darker of the two.

Spices don't keep indefinitely. Cinnamon should be replaced after two to three years. Store it in a cool, dark place in your kitchen or pantry.

Other Uses
Besides it's primary use as a flavoring, cinnamon is said to have various medicinal properties. It has been used as an antiflatulent, to treat diarrhea, and to cure colds. Also, a whiff of cinnamon is reputedly able to lift one's spirits and contribute to a sense of well being.
