Not using different kinds of cinnamon

Did you know that there are numerous types of cinnamon used in cooking? Cassia cinnamon is the most commonly used type of cinnamon in recipes such as cinnamon rolls. In American and Canadian grocery stores, this cinnamon is commonly labeled as "ground cinnamon". The cassia cinnamon flavor is mostly sweet, with a relatively mild scent. Ceylon cinnamon grows only in Sri Lanka and Madagascar.

Ceylon has a floral undertone and is less red in color than cassia cinnamon. Ceylon cinnamon can be found in the spice aisle of your grocery store or from online retailers. For the most intense cinnamon flavor in your baked goods, use ground cinnamon. Cinnamon sticks are used to infuse cinnamon flavor into hot liquids (such as teas), but they do not always impart the same flavors as ground cinnamon.
