About
Ground cinnamon is a lightweight powdered spice made from tree bark, weighing about 4.2 ounces (118 g) per cup.
Ground cinnamon has a bulk density of around 4.2 ounces per cup (0.5 g/mL), making it a fairly light and airy powder. Because it is ground from dried inner tree bark, it packs loosely compared to crystalline ingredients. A common 2-ounce (57 g) grocery spice jar holds just under half a cup of powder. Compared to table salt or sugar, it takes up about twice as much physical space for the same weight.
From Wikipedia

Cinnamon is used mainly as an aromatic condiment and flavouring additive in a wide variety of cuisines, in particular sweet and savoury dishes such as biscuits, breakfast cereals, snack foods, bagels, teas, hot chocolate, and traditional foods.
