There are two main types of cinnamon: Ceylon cinnamon and cassia cinnamon (also known as Chinese cinnamon). In the United States, anything simply labeled "cinnamon" is probably cassia, since it's cheaper.

Most grains can be prepared like rice. Rinse first, cover with water, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until soft.

Get organic when you can. The toxic chemical sulfuryl fluoride is used as a pesticide when storing conventional grains, fruit, and nuts. [2009] - Frances Sheridan Goulart
