[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I bet it would reduce the likeliness of lead contamination. Sometimes lead is added to spices to make them heavier and therefore more expensive. PT also can come from processing equipment. But what kind of grinder do you have to grind cinnamon sticks? Would it make the blades really dull really fast?[/quote] OP here - I used an old coffee bean grinder that we don't use anymore, then put it through a mesh sieve. I was out of cinnamon at the time when I did this, but then when I saw yet another FDA alert on lead in a cinnamon product, it made me think maybe I should always do it this way. I know the recent applesauce cinnamon pouches with lead were identified from increased lead readings in children and found to be due to some issue at the manufacturing plant, it was not just naturally occurring lead.
