Spice IslandsGround, Ginger, 1.9 Ounce

I first began to use Spice Islands products when I was living in Japan during the 1980s. I was startled by the quality and the improvement in the taste of my baking. I've tried other brands since, but nothing comes close, so I continue to buy Spice Islands cinnamon, ginger, cloves, allspice and nutmeg, the spices I use, from the USA. Thanks for making it available on Amazon.

Unlike other nutmeg products , this one is finely granulated which makes it much easier to spoon out. I use it (believe it or not) as a sleep aid, which it is really good at doing.

So fresh

The taste is much brighter, stronger. You can taste it especially in baking. My grocery stores here no longer carry it and I don’t know why. It has a long expiration date so I bought three bottles for my baking. The glass jars I feel keep the spices fresher.

Can't go wrong with Spice Island products.

ok

The last time i went for groceries and spices, i was shocked at the cost of the spices. but if you bake and cook a lot you have to have them. When i got home, i looked up nutmeg on amazon for one. I couldn't believe the price and the size of the bottle versus the grocery store. Since then, I order all of my spices from amazon. Greatest deal!!!

Quoting Eating Well:"True cinnamon is Ceylon soft bark cinnamon (also known as Cinnamomum verum), which is made from the actual bark of a tree native to the islands of Sri Lanka, near the southern tip of India."-> Fake cinnamon: "A plant called cassia (Cinnamomum cassia), by contrast, is native to southern China and spans a much larger territory, making it more readily available—and way cheaper. This is the stuff you often see sold as cinnamon sticks, says Johnson. Neither the aroma, flavor or texture are the same as that of Ceylon cinnamon, but the FDA doesn't distinguish between the two. That's why both show up in stores as just cinnamon."- - Get the real stuff. Yum. Thank you Spice Islands! Get lost McCormick crud.
