It has none of the grittiness of coarse ground Ceylon cinnamon powder. This powder is a bakers delight, generating an aroma, especially in cakes, that is out of this World. And a sophsticated subtle taste to match, with none of overtly spicy flavor of Cassia Cinnamon.
You can grind Cinnamon powder at home, but it still will not come close to the fine 100 mesh grain size we can achieve with a cool grinding machine. Plus Cool grinding also preserves more of the essential oils in the powder. Ours has 1.1% volatile oil which is excellent.
