                                According to the USDA, a single teaspoon of ground cinnamon contains less than 0.1 grams of sugar, a fact that often surprises people who wonder, 'Does the spice cinnamon have any sugar in it?'. Its naturally sweet flavor comes not from sugar, but from its aromatic compounds.
