What you think is cinnamon, isn't always cinnamon

If your cinnamon sticks can't be broken, you probably aren't even using real cinnamon! Real Mexican cinnamon (aka my favorite cinnamon to use, without exception) is flaky and easy to break up in a molcajete.

Use cassia bark when you’re making curries where the cinnamon flavor is a background flavor and use Ceylon cinnamon if you’re baking.

I love cooking edutainment. Thanks for making awesome cooking videos that are educational and fun to watch

[justgiuleej]

Ceylon is the best in my opinion. I've heard it's the healthiest as well. I love cinnamon.

You educate us about very important matters while we are entertained and you always make me hungry!! I learned to cook my grandparents Mexican Cuisine because of you!!!

I have started watching a lot of Rick's videos, I got tired of making "white people tacos" so have been making chicken tacos with dried peppers and some cinnamon from the Mexican market and I will never go back! It is SO MUCH better!

My grandma has always hated the "canela gringa", she can't even smell it without showing disgust haha

Café con canela is delicious especially with a little bit of rum 🍹! Rick is our Güero, by the powers invested in me a Mexican, I declare Rick aka Ricardo a Mexican.

Love, love, love Ceylon cinnamon! It makes my tongue tickle 🤗

[BigSirZebras]

Rick smelling the good stuff like Tuco and getting all giddy.

There's nothing like whole canela, real canela. So soothing.

My son in law is a wonderful cook. He is Mexican American. His parents came from Sonora.
For Christmas I got a box of Mexican spices for him from Penseys. I was disappointed to find Ceylon cinnamon included . I wondered why Sri Lankan spice was in the box! Now I know why. Thank you Rick.❤️🎄

I love your enthusiasm 🎉❤

Why do I need a mortar?

[ardenlorken]

😮 We've been using cassia bark this whole time.

[wclarknewton]

They’re both great, and most of the time you want cassia if you’re cooking, it has a stronger spicier flavor that stick out. Ceylons nuanced floral flavors get destroyed and overwhelmed when heated.

There's 8 grades of Ceylon cinnamon. The best is as thin as a pencil.

I love your energy and enthusiasm, I'd love to work for you

[ovatsub]

I can taste it in my arroz con leche already 🤤🤤

[East_of_Hightower]

I had noticed a difference in some of the “cinnamon” I have purchased. I suppose this is why.

[MagpieMalone]

I don't think we have a mexican store in northern saskatchewan 😢 will have to order on-line

[veronicahanlon]

Ceylon in teas and some savory recipes is awesome. However I've grown up with cassia cinnamon In desserts and is still my favorite
