Whether it's movie night, game night, small gatherings, or simply munching, let's take a moment to appreciate the simple snack that always saves the day. Popcorn has always been our go-to snack, it's easy to prepare and requires nothing but a few ingredients.
If you're looking to give your popcorn a new twist and some extra delicious flavour, this Cinnamon-Sugar recipe is a must to try and easy to make.
The History Behind The Grain That Made History
Corn was domesticated about 10,000 years ago in what is now called Mexico, but it wasn’t until 2012 that archaeologists discovered that people have known about popcorn for thousands of years, unearthing that the first fossil evidence from Peru suggests that corn was popped as early as 4700 BC.
The fluffy popcorn we know and love today is, in part, the result of thousands of years of careful cultivation of a few different strains of corn.
Cinnamon, Ceylon Organic from Madagascar
Using high quality cinnamon can turn this popcorn recipe into an astonishing and devouring snack. Our Ceylon Organic Cinnamon is pure, all-natural, and freshly sourced to you directly from our farms in Madagascar.
Ceylon cinnamon is a bit more woodsy and has a more subtle flavour than Cassia cinnamon due to its lower volatile oil content. Its taste is slightly sweet and mild; however, it's unusually aromatic, giving off a strong, warm and inviting scent.
