Ceylon Cinnamon Dried Stick

Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) is a warm and aromatic spice made from the inner bark of trees belonging to the genus Cinnamomum. Known for its sweet and woody flavor, cinnamon is used in a wide range of culinary applications, from baked goods and desserts to savory dishes and beverages. Rich in antioxidants, cinnamon is believed to have anti-inflammatory properties and may help regulate blood sugar levels. The two main types of cinnamon are Ceylon and Cassia, with Ceylon being considered ‘true cinnamon’ due to its finer and more delicate flavor. The versatile nature of cinnamon makes it a beloved spice in both traditional and modern cuisines. Common varieties include Saigon Cassia and Korintje, each with distinct levels of pungency and sweetness. Saigon Cassia is known for its intense flavor and high oil content, making it perfect for bold dishes and spicy baked goods. Korintje cinnamon has a milder, sweet flavor, ideal for everyday baking and desserts.
