So, what is canela em pó?
Canela em pó is the Portuguese name for ground cinnamon, a popular and versatile spice made from the inner bark of several species of trees in the Cinnamomum family. The sweet, warm, and slightly pungent flavor of cinnamon is a staple in many cuisines, especially in baked goods and desserts, where it pairs well with fruits, nuts, and chocolate. Canela em pó is also used in savory dishes, such as stews, rice dishes, and curries, to add depth and complexity to the flavor profile. Additionally, cinnamon has been traditionally used for its medicinal properties, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial effects.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
