It's really easy to take for granted since most of us have never known any different. (lemmy.world)

I mean if you think about it, cinnamon is essentially sawdust right?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not wrong...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Very wrong. Cinnamon is king.

I just mean because cinnamon (the spice) is the bark of the cinnamon tree, which when ground up is a form of sawdust. Delicious sawdust, but sawdust, nonetheless.

Fun fact: Cinnamon (Cinnamomum) is the genus not the species. There are Ceylon trees and Cassia trees and a bunch of others but no specifically Cinnamon trees.

TIL. Fascinating!

Ha, I did not know that.

Just in case you weren't actually aware, that wasn't a statement about the quality of cinnamon as a spice. It's literally made frome ground up tree bark.

Spices lose their flavor over time. Yours are too old; throw them out and replace them.

Or at least start using a fuck-ton more than the recipe calls for until you use up the old stuff.

You're missing the point. Copying what I wrote above:

Oh shit, I got whooshed. 😳

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ackshually, sawdust isn't bark. It's wood.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wow, this is a very good point because as we all know it's impossible for a saw to cut bark.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So, then "sawdust" just becomes anything that a saw can cut?

Anything that's part of a log. That includes bark, I imagine.

Edit: we still cool bro
