I just mean because cinnamon (the spice) is the bark of the cinnamon tree, which when ground up is a form of sawdust. Delicious sawdust, but sawdust, nonetheless.
Fun fact: Cinnamon (Cinnamomum) is the genus not the species. There are Ceylon trees and Cassia trees and a bunch of others but no specifically Cinnamon trees.
Just in case you weren’t actually aware, that wasn’t a statement about the quality of cinnamon as a spice. It’s literally made frome ground up tree bark.

Oh shit, I got whooshed. 😳
Ackshually, sawdust isn’t bark. It’s wood.
Wow, this is a very good point because as we all know it’s impossible for a saw to cut bark.
So, then “sawdust” just becomes anything that a saw can cut?
Anything that’s part of a log. That includes bark, I imagine.
