I bought whole cloves the other day thinking I could grind them to a powder with my pestle and mortar. Not so easy :) I'll have to look for some ground cloves.

I never learned how to ground cloves and this video didn’t tell me how I knew about the rest but wanted to learn how

I tried grinding whole cloves in my spice grinder (because I did not want to go to the store).  It totally messed up the plastic (made it turn from clear to opaque where the oil sat) and to this day STILL smells like cloves.

That cinnamon thing blew me away. I had no idea.

It's curious that every discussion of older spices, I've seen, relies on the spice company's say so. My old spices work fine. Most are 5 to 10 years old. The cinnamon in the apple crisp. The ground cloves and nutmeg in banana spice cake. I still need convincing to throw out a spice that cost $50 a pound.

Is it worth it to search for Ceylon cinnamon?
