Smith & Truslow Organic Cassia Cinnamon is USDA certified organic, freshly ground in small batches, and third-party tested for heavy metals — delivering the bold, sweet, intensely warm flavor that makes cassia cinnamon the most widely used and universally loved spice in the American kitchen.
Our organic cassia cinnamon is sourced from the finest cinnamon-producing regions and ground fresh to preserve its essential oils, deep reddish-brown color, and signature warming intensity. Whether you're baking cinnamon rolls, spicing a batch of oatmeal, blending a chai spice mix, seasoning a Moroccan tagine, or building a barbecue rub, Smith & Truslow organic cassia cinnamon delivers a richness and depth that grocery store cinnamon simply can't match.
Cassia Cinnamon vs Ceylon Cinnamon — What's the Difference?
There are two main types of cinnamon — cassia and Ceylon. Cassia cinnamon is the bold, intensely sweet variety most Americans grew up with — the cinnamon in your grandmother's apple pie, your morning oatmeal, and your favorite holiday cookies. It has a stronger, more assertive flavor than Ceylon cinnamon and holds up beautifully in baking, spice blends, and savory dishes alike. Ceylon cinnamon, sometimes called "true cinnamon," has a lighter, more delicate, slightly citrusy flavor preferred in beverages and dishes where subtlety is key. Both are excellent — the choice depends on the flavor intensity you're after. We carry both so you can cook with exactly the right cinnamon for every dish.
Why Our Organic Cassia Cinnamon Is Different
Conventional cinnamon is one of the spices most frequently found to contain elevated levels of heavy metals including lead — a concern that has received significant media attention in recent years. Not ours. Every lot of Smith & Truslow organic cassia cinnamon is tested by an accredited third-party lab against heavy metal specifications more stringent than industry standards. We also use no fillers, no anticaking agents, and no irradiation — just pure, freshly ground certified organic cassia cinnamon.

Storage and Shelf Life
Storage and Shelf Life
Storage: To maximize freshness, store in a dark airtight container in a cool dry place. Once the spice is ground, flavor deteriorates with exposure to light, heat, air, humidity and time. Here are rules of thumb about the shelf life of spices and herbs >
NOTE: The plastic refill bags are not intended for long-term storage of your spices. Due to the porous nature of plastic, the essential oils that are released when a spice is ground, may react with the plastic and/or labelling inks over time.
Refill bags contain the same amount of spice as in our small glass jars. When they arrive, simply snip the corner of your bag, refill your original Smith & Truslow spice jar, apply the new label, and recycle the bag.
