Cinnamon ChurWHOA Seasoning - 4.25 oz

Cinnamon ChurWHOA started as a dessert pork rind seasoning blend so loved that customers of Pork King Good in Milwaukee kept asking for the cinnamon sugar seasoning shaker on its own. So the brand bottled it separately: same warm cinnamon-sugar mix, no rind required.

Each 4.25 oz shaker holds cane sugar, turbinado sugar, and true Saigon cinnamon - the higher-oil-content cinnamon varietal favored by bakeries for a bolder, spicier cinnamon-roll flavor than the standard cassia cinnamon in most grocery shakers. Saigon cinnamon is grown and harvested in Vietnam, then shipped to the U.S. for blending. It's produced in the Wisconsin facility Pork King Good acquired outright in May 2022, making it the only woman-owned pork rind manufacturing business in the country - a detail baked into everything the brand touches, seasoning included.

Shake it over popcorn, into a latte, across French toast or waffles, into oatmeal or a yogurt parfait, onto roasted sweet potatoes, or straight into a bowl of vanilla ice cream. It's built to season anything that could use a cinnamon-roll upgrade.

A note for label readers: this shaker is cane sugar and turbinado sugar first, so it isn't part of Pork King Good's low-carb or keto lineup - think of it as their dessert seasoning, meant for a sprinkle rather than a serving. It is gluten-free with no artificial colors or flavors, made in the USA, and shelf-stable. Store the shaker in a cool, dry pantry and reseal the lid after each use.

Ingredients: Cane Sugar, Turbinado Sugar, and Saigon Cinnamon.

Common Questions

How is Saigon cinnamon different from the cassia cinnamon in most grocery store shakers?
Saigon cinnamon (Cinnamomum loureiroi) runs 2 to 6 percent essential oil content, mostly cinnamaldehyde, compared to roughly 1 to 2 percent in the Chinese cassia cinnamon used in most supermarket cinnamon-sugar blends. That higher oil concentration is why bakeries reach for Saigon cinnamon specifically when they want a bolder, spicier cinnamon-roll flavor rather than a flatter, one-note sweetness. It also means you typically need less of it by volume to get the same flavor punch as a cassia-based blend. The tradeoff is that Saigon cinnamon costs more to source, which is part of why it's uncommon in mass-market shakers.

Does this fit a keto, paleo, or carnivore diet?
No. This is a cane sugar and turbinado sugar blend first, with Saigon cinnamon as the flavor component, so it runs high in carbohydrates per serving and isn't part of Pork King Good's low-carb lineup. A quarter-teaspoon shake is generally fine on a paleo diet if you're not strict about refined sugar, but it does not fit keto macros and it has no place in a carnivore protocol since it contains no animal product and is mostly sugar by weight. Pork King Good is explicit about this on the label rather than folding it into their keto-certified seasoning line. Treat it the way you'd treat cinnamon sugar toast topping, not a keto pantry staple.

What dishes work best with this, and does it need any cooking adjustments?
It's built for a finishing shake rather than baking into a recipe: popcorn, French toast, waffles, oatmeal, yogurt parfaits, roasted sweet potatoes, lattes, and vanilla ice cream all work straight out of the shaker. Because it contains real cane and turbinado sugar granules rather than powdered sugar, it won't dissolve instantly in cold liquids like iced coffee, so it works better stirred into something warm or sprinkled onto a moist surface like French toast batter or roasted vegetables. If you do want to bake with it, treat it as a partial sugar substitute in a cinnamon-sugar topping recipe rather than a 1-to-1 swap for plain sugar, since the Saigon cinnamon will read stronger than a standard cassia blend at the same measurement.

How do I know the ingredient and sourcing claims on the label are accurate?
The ingredient list is short and disclosed in full: cane sugar, turbinado sugar, and Saigon cinnamon, with no fillers or anti-caking agents hidden behind a natural flavors line. The gluten-free and no-artificial-ingredients claims are straightforward to verify against that three-ingredient list, since there's no wheat-derived starch or synthetic flavoring in the formula to begin with. Production happens at the Wisconsin facility Pork King Good owns outright, which is a matter of public record from their May 2022 acquisition rather than a third-party co-packer claim. If you want to confirm cinnamon variety, Saigon cinnamon (Cinnamomum loureiroi) is botanically distinct from cassia and its higher oil content is documented in food science literature on cinnamon varietals.

What does it mean that Pork King Good is woman-owned, and does that affect this product specifically?
Pork King Good's outright acquisition of its Wisconsin production facility in May 2022 made it the only woman-owned pork rind manufacturing business in the country, and that ownership extends to everything made in that facility, including this seasoning even though it contains no pork. It's not a marketing overlay added after the fact; the same team and equipment that built the brand's pork rind seasonings developed this shaker after customers kept asking for the dessert blend on its own. So the woman-owned distinction isn't a separate certification bolted onto the product, it's a fact about who runs the facility this shaker comes out of.

How much sugar and how many carbs are actually in a serving?
A typical quarter-teaspoon shake runs around 1 gram of carbohydrate and roughly 4 calories, almost entirely from the cane sugar and turbinado sugar rather than the cinnamon itself. That's noticeably higher in sugar than a standard cinnamon-only shaker, since this product is formulated as a cinnamon-sugar blend rather than a pure spice. If you're tracking carbs closely, the per-shake amount adds up quickly if you're generous with it on something like oatmeal or a latte, so it's worth measuring rather than free-pouring if you're watching sugar intake. This is the main reason Pork King Good keeps it out of their low-carb product family and labels it as a dessert seasoning instead.

How should I store it and how long does it stay fresh?
Keep the shaker in a cool, dry pantry away from direct heat or humidity, and reseal the lid tightly after each use since both the sugar and the cinnamon oils are sensitive to moisture clumping. Because the formula has no artificial preservatives, its shelf stability comes from the low moisture content of sugar and dried cinnamon rather than added stabilizers, so keeping moisture out is the main thing that protects flavor over time. Saigon cinnamon's higher oil content means the aroma will fade gradually with prolonged air exposure, so a tightly closed lid preserves the bolder flavor longer than leaving it open on a counter. Used regularly, a 4.25 oz shaker holds up well for months without losing its cinnamon-roll intensity.
