Is cinnamon extract the same as cinnamon powder?
Cinnamon extract and cinnamon powder are not the same. Cinnamon powder is made by grinding cinnamon sticks into a fine powder, while cinnamon extract is a concentrated form of the active compounds found in cinnamon, often produced by soaking cinnamon bark in a solvent such as alcohol or water and then evaporating the solvent to leave behind a concentrated extract.
