The Benefits of Cinnamon: Why This Spice Deserves a Spot in Your Pantry

Cinnamon has been prized for centuries—not just for its warm, comforting flavor but also for its wellness properties and versatility in the kitchen. At Evermill, we love it because it’s one of those spices that instantly transforms both sweet and savory dishes, adding depth, aroma, and a touch of comfort to everyday cooking.

A Spice Steeped in History

Harvested from the inner bark of cinnamon trees, this spice has roots stretching back thousands of years. Once considered more valuable than gold, cinnamon was traded along ancient spice routes and used in everything from rituals to remedies. Today, it remains one of the most beloved spices across cultures and cuisines.

The Wellness Angle

Cinnamon is more than just a flavor boost. Studies suggest it may support healthy blood sugar levels, aid digestion, and provide antioxidant benefits. It’s also naturally warming, which is why you’ll often see it paired with teas, coffees, and cozy autumn recipes.

Cooking with Cinnamon

From morning to night, cinnamon can find its way into your meals:

• Sprinkle over oatmeal, lattes, or yogurt bowls.

• Stir into braises, curries, or roasted vegetables for unexpected depth.

• Bake into everything from snickerdoodles to apple crisp for a classic fall touch.

Why We Love It

At Evermill, we source spices with care so they arrive at your door fragrant, fresh, and ready to inspire. Cinnamon is a perfect example: it’s the little jar you’ll reach for again and again, whether you’re making a quick weekday breakfast or a holiday dessert that fills the house with warmth.

✨ Tip: Try pairing cinnamon with nutmeg, cardamom, or cloves for a layered fall flavor that brings out the best in seasonal produce like apples, pears, and squash.
