Fragrant, and delicious, cinnamon is a FANTASTIC spice to use in QUICK and EASY desserts (like the oranges with honey and candied ginger) or mixed with other spices in the CHETTINAD SPICE POWDER. It’s a great rub for roasted, pan-seared or barbecued meats, seafoods, and vegetables. And according to research, (and approved by the American Diabetic Association) cinnamon can help the body metabolize blood sugar. Watch the video to find out more about this great spice!
