Cinnamon: from teaspoons to a jar
Ground cinnamon is light and fine — a teaspoon weighs about 2.6 g, and a standard 2.5 oz (70 g) supermarket jar holds roughly 27 teaspoons. Most jars are cassia cinnamon, which is bold and slightly sharp; Ceylon, or true cinnamon, is milder and more delicate, though the two weigh about the same.
If you grind your own, one cinnamon stick yields roughly ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
