ceylon cinnamon sticks

Ceylon cinnamon sticks, also known as “true cinnamon,” are thin, delicate quills with a light brown color. They are made by peeling the inner bark of the Cinnamomum verum tree and rolling it into layers. Unlike the thicker, harder cassia cinnamon sticks, Ceylon sticks are soft and easily broken into smaller pieces. Their flavor is mild, sweet, and complex, with subtle citrus and floral notes. Ceylon cinnamon is considered superior in quality due to its low coumarin content, making it a healthier choice for regular consumption. The sticks can be used in cooking, baking, or brewed in hot beverages like tea.
