Pure Beyond-Organic Cinnamon for Sweet and Savoury Delights

Waterberg Organics Pure Cinnamon Powder brings you the warm, aromatic essence of beyond-organic cinnamon in a convenient glass shaker bottle. This 40g shaker contains nothing but pure, non-irradiated ground cinnamon – no fillers, no additives, no anti-caking agents – just honest, sun-grown spice that your body recognises and loves.

Grown on a farm that works closely with nature using only homemade compost and natural amendments, and carefully ground to preserve its natural aromatic oils and sweet-spicy complexity, our cinnamon powder delivers authentic warmth and depth to both sweet and savoury dishes. Each shake provides the distinctive fragrant sweetness that makes cinnamon one of the world’s most beloved and versatile spices, used across cultures for thousands of years.

Why Choose Waterberg Organics Pure Cinnamon Powder?

Beyond Organic Practices: This cinnamon is grown beyond organic standards – Waterberg Organics doesn’t use any pesticides (organic or otherwise), relying instead on homemade compost, natural amendments made on-site, and interplanting herbs between vegetables for natural pest management. Beneficial insects are welcomed into the gardens as nature’s helpers. This is farming that truly works with nature, not against it.

Uncompromising Purity: Our cinnamon powder is non-GMO and completely free from irradiation – a process often used to extend shelf life but which can compromise aromatic oils and flavour intensity. We believe in preserving what nature intended, which is why this cinnamon is grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilisers, or even organic pesticides.

Single Ingredient Integrity: When you read our ingredients list, you’ll find just one item: non-irradiated pure ground cinnamon grown using beyond-organic practices. No anti-caking agents, no added sugars, no mysterious E-numbers. This is spice in its purest form, crafted by a conscious chef who believes that the best ingredients don’t need disguising.

Aromatic Excellence: True cinnamon delivers sweet, warm, complex flavour with subtle woody notes. Our carefully sourced cinnamon provides authentic aromatic character that transforms everything from morning porridge to slow-cooked tagines.

Glass Shaker Convenience: Packaged in a reusable glass shaker bottle, this cinnamon is ready to use straight from your pantry or table. The glass container preserves the spice’s aromatic oils, prevents moisture absorption, and eliminates plastic waste – better for your food and better for the environment.

How to Use Pure Cinnamon Powder

The beauty of cinnamon lies in its remarkable versatility across sweet and savoury applications. Here are just a few ways to incorporate this warming spice into your daily routine:

Breakfast and Porridge: Shake over oatmeal, porridge, muesli, or yoghurt for warming morning flavour. Sprinkle on French toast, pancakes, and waffles. Stir into smoothie bowls and chia puddings.

Coffee and Beverages: Add a shake to your morning coffee, cappuccino, or hot chocolate for aromatic warmth. Create cinnamon-spiced lattes or stir into chai tea. Mix into cold brew or iced coffee for subtle spice.

Baking: Essential in cinnamon rolls, apple pie, banana bread, carrot cake, and spice biscuits. Combine with sugar for cinnamon sugar topping on doughnuts, koeksisters, and melktert. Add to muffins, scones, and rusks for traditional South African baking.

Stewed and Roasted Fruit: Sprinkle over baked apples, roasted pears, or poached stone fruits. Add to fruit compotes, apple sauce, and fruit crumbles for enhanced sweetness and depth.

Curries and Tagines: Essential in Moroccan tagines, Indian curries, and Middle Eastern stews. Combines beautifully with cumin, coriander, and cardamom in aromatic spice blends. Adds depth to slow-cooked lamb and chicken dishes.

Sweet Potatoes and Squash: Shake over roasted butternut squash, sweet potatoes, or pumpkin before baking. The natural sweetness of these vegetables pairs perfectly with cinnamon’s warmth.

Rice and Grain Dishes: Add a pinch to rice pilaf, couscous, or quinoa for subtle aromatic complexity. Traditional in Persian and Middle Eastern rice dishes.

Morning Rituals: Many people add a shake of cinnamon to warm lemon water, golden milk, or herbal teas as part of morning wellness routines, appreciating its warming and aromatic properties.

Understanding Cinnamon

True cinnamon (Ceylon cinnamon) and cassia cinnamon are both sold as “cinnamon,” though they differ in flavour and characteristics. While we cannot guarantee which variety without laboratory testing, quality cinnamon grown using beyond-organic practices like ours provides the warm, sweet, complex flavour that cinnamon is celebrated for – whether used in traditional South African melktert, Moroccan tagines, or Swedish cinnamon buns.

Cinnamon has been treasured for millennia, once valued more highly than gold. Today it remains one of the most versatile and beloved spices, bridging sweet and savoury applications with equal grace.

Cooking and Baking Tips

For Baking: Cinnamon pairs beautifully with vanilla, nutmeg, ginger, and cardamom in baked goods. It enhances sweetness without adding sugar, allowing you to reduce refined sweeteners while maintaining flavour satisfaction.

For Savoury Dishes: In savoury applications, cinnamon adds subtle warmth and depth without obvious sweetness. Use sparingly – a pinch or two is often sufficient to add complexity to meat dishes, stews, and grain preparations.

Timing: Cinnamon can be added at various stages of cooking. In baking, mix into dry ingredients. In beverages, shake on top or stir in. In slow-cooked dishes, add during the first hour of cooking to allow flavours to develop and mellow.

Pairing: Cinnamon pairs beautifully with apples, pears, bananas, chocolate, coffee, vanilla, nuts, honey, maple syrup, oranges, and warming spices like ginger and cardamom.

Storage and Freshness

The glass shaker bottle helps maintain freshness by protecting the cinnamon from light and moisture. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and the stove’s heat (which can diminish aromatic oils). Always ensure the lid is tightly closed after use.

Properly stored, pure cinnamon powder maintains its aromatic potency and sweet-spicy flavour for up to two years, though it’s at its peak within the first year.
