Cinnamon, ground

Ground cinnamon is a spice made from the dried inner bark of cinnamon trees, milled into a powder. It mainly provides fibre, with minerals including calcium and iron. Per 100g, it contains 53g of fibre, 1002mg of calcium, 8.3mg of iron and 0.03g of salt.

Fibre supports normal bowel function, calcium helps maintain bones and teeth, and iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Cinnamon is generally used in small amounts, so its contribution to nutrient intake is much smaller than the figures per 100g suggest. Foods containing cinnamon may also contain added sugar, fat or salt. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
