Peni Miris Cinnamon

Our Peni Miris Cinnamon adds warm, nuanced flavor to baked goods, oatmeal, coffee, chai, curries, stewed fruit, and spice blends. It's a natural fit for a cinnamon roll recipe or any bake where you want delicate citrusy sweetness rather than a sharp, overpowering spice.

Ceylon cinnamon is beloved for its delicate, layered flavor and versatility in the kitchen. Many people also choose it over cassia cinnamon because it naturally contains much lower levels of coumarin, a compound that some research has linked to cinnamon for diabetes discussions, though this isn't a claim we make about our product specifically. Its lighter, more nuanced flavor makes it especially well suited to recipes where the cinnamon should complement, not dominate.

Absolutely. Ground cinnamon is wonderful in cinnamon rolls, cookies, cakes, muffins, quick breads, and fruit desserts. Its bright, fragrant flavor blends beautifully into batters and doughs without overwhelming the other ingredients.

Not quite. True Ceylon cinnamon and cassia cinnamon come from different tree species and have distinctly different flavor profiles. Ceylon cinnamon is lighter, brighter, and more citrusy, with delicate floral notes, while cassia is typically bolder and more intensely woody. If you're looking for a more nuanced cinnamon that lets the rest of a recipe shine, Ceylon cinnamon is the way to go.

Store them in an airtight container in a dark, dry place. Do not store spices in direct sunlight, as this will shorten their shelf life.

Most of the spices are good 2 years from the mill date, which is listed on the harvest label sticker on the jar or bag. That being said, our spices are extremely potent and fresh as we take incredible care to source yearly and aim for quality, so 2 years is our most conservative guideline, compared to most spices in the grocery store which are often 5-10 years old upon purchase.

Our farm partners have been cultivating spices using practices that go "beyond organic" for well over five years. Although they haven't obtained USDA certification yet, this is primarily because the initial certification can be costly and may lead to cycles of debt. To meet USDA standards, four years of inspections and certificates are required after the first certification. However, we consider this process redundant and unnecessary since we conduct thorough testing on every batch we procure. It's a prerequisite for Diaspora Co. to select farm partners whose soil health and agricultural practices align with our internal standards of growing food regeneratively.
