Cinnamon nutrition by serving size
Every serving below is a USDA household measure for this food, a fraction of one, or a unit conversion. Amounts are USDA values scaled by weight; only the Nutrition Facts panel applies the coarser FDA label rounding.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 tsp | 2.6 g | 6 | 2.1 g | 0.1 g | <0.1 g | 1.4 g | 0.1 g |
| 1 tbsp | 7.8 g | 19 | 6.3 g | 0.3 g | 0.1 g | 4.1 g | 0.2 g |

Calories from a sprinkle

Cinnamon nutrition label for Canada, the EU and the UK
The same serving of cinnamon, drawn by the label formats other markets require: the Canadian bilingual Nutrition Facts table, the EU nutrition declaration (per 100 g, energy in kJ and kcal, salt instead of sodium) and the UK nutrition information table with reference intakes. The generator switches between these and many more from one recipe.

Source and method
Nutrient values are from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy (April 2018 release, public domain), record 171320: "Spices, cinnamon, ground". Values are stored per 100 g exactly as USDA reports them and scaled to each serving by weight. The Nutrition Facts panel applies the FDA rounding rules in 21 CFR 101.9; tables and text show the scaled amounts at reading precision, so a figure can differ slightly from the panel. A nutrient USDA does not report for this food is shown as not reported, never as a guessed value.
SR Legacy predates the added sugars field. This is a whole or unsweetened food, so added sugars are shown as 0 g. View the USDA record ↗
