What is National Cinnamon Day?

With National Cinnamon Day on November 1st, the holiday season begins as the holiday season heats up. It's the spice that ushers in a season while also being versatile all year round.

What other spice flavors the holidays than cinnamon? Of course, cinnamon's quintessential warmth in our homes is matched by no other. Cinnamon sticks to childhood memories of holidays with family and friends for generations. It sweetens apple pies and is the base for pumpkin spice. It kisses the snickerdoodle with just a touch. On chilly evenings in frothy beverages, we raise a toast with it. Our bounty is held all season long, and cinnamon preserves our bounty.

Our memories of the holidays include hot, cold, savory, and sweet cinnamon. In fact, cinnamon was the most commonly purchased holiday spice in 2018, according to IRI results. It's the ultimate spice to make gifts and bring cheer to the home. How will you use cinnamon this season?
