Francesco mentions about doing a wieght comparison using ground
cinnamon:

I've wondered about this before. How do you grind the cinnamon? I've
got some of the little bark rolls of cinnamon and powdered cinnamon
(or at least cassia). Do you just grind up the whole stick? Or scrap
off the powder? From what you say here, it sounds like the former.
But if I'm wrong, eating sawdust even if flavored with cinnamon powder
doesn't seem to good.

thanks.
