This cinnamon spice is incredibly delicious. I’m reordering but had a question. You do not have it listed under category “SOS” and I was wondering if it has any sugar? (It says no added salt but doesn’t mention sugar). Thank you!

This is the most amazing cinnamon. I always knew certain cinnamons tasted better than others, but I had never nailed down a great one. This is it! It’s so flavorful & sweet. I regularly sprinkle it on my apples. It makes them an indulgence instead of just a snack.

Unusual use of Local Spicery Cinnamon. Lost my sense of smell post COVID, started aromatherapy to restore, could not identify cinnamon essential oil so opened my Local Spicery jar of Cinnamon and *POW*! There it was! Thanks, Nick and Evelyn!
