Cinnamon
Cinnamon is a dry seasoning used in small amounts for clear aroma and flavor. Add gradually, taste as you go, and refresh it when the smell turns dull.
Identity
Dry spice
Use small amounts and refresh stale jars.
Powdered spices spread quickly through a dish. Add a little at a time, bloom in fat when the recipe calls for it, and replace the jar when the aroma turns flat.
