Spices deteriorate in quality much much faster than you think, particularly ground spices. Chuck it and replace it. Cinnamon is cheap and much better when it's not super old.

Why would you chuck it? Even if you don’t want to eat it, it can be used for a bunch of non-edible purposes. Off the top of my head a body scrub, sink cleaner, or salt dough Christmas ornaments. It also is a decent ant repellent at entry points.

You've just blown my mind. Didn't even think of those uses for it. Yes, absolutely, those are all valid uses for old cinnamon!

I am using it up in oatmeal. has some flavor still. I'm cheap.

Too cheap to buy more cinnamon?! What the hell are you doing on BIFL, where socks base price at $20?! Lol
strcrssd t1_ivueh9s wrote
BIFL is cheap. Quality goods tend to have prices that reflect the time to design the product and source quality ingredients.
As such, the individual items may be expensive, but you're buying for a much longer time. My darn tough socks are expensive, but they have already lasted a long time and they still have a warranty.

Meh, I'm using cloves from 1997 and they lost about 10% of their flavor.

Well sure, almost everything is buy it for life if you never use it.

Shitpost? Ground spices lose potency real quick.
BeavisLawGroup OP t1_ivsx1te wrote
nope. I used it twice today, oat meal and later french toast.

Go buy a new cinnamon and try them side by side.
If you honestly don’t see the merit after that then I it can’t be helped.
strcrssd t1_ivueubf wrote
Yes, but throwing away things that are still usable and used regularly isn't a good behavior. If OP still enjoys it, they still enjoy what flavor is left.
New will obviously be better for spices, but use what one has first as long as it's acceptable. Acceptability is in the taste of the user.

Spices aren’t buy it for life they last about 6 months at best.
If you ever buy a large container like this separate it into a smaller shaker and vacuum seal the rest. Unless you use a Costco amount of cinnamon for whatever reason.

Where can I buy this aged cinnamon?
BeavisLawGroup OP t1_ivsgldy wrote
Got too much in 2007, and taking a long time to use. It still has some flavor.

That 550 gr size would only last 12 weeks in our household.... 😂

Yeah this isn’t the type of thing that can sit around…you really shouldn’t get ground cinnamon at all.
