Technically it is pure ground cinnamon, nothing else in it, but practically it might as well be the kind that is adulter ated with ground cracker crumbs or ground peas. We have a full line of ground spices that are dependable. Every kind is not only pure, but full strength as well. We warrant them satisfactory to you.
