Production & Sourcing

Harvesting: Cinnamon sticks are made from the inner bark of cinnamon trees, primarily from species like Cinnamomum verum (Ceylon cinnamon) or Cinnamomum cassia (Cassia cinnamon). The bark is carefully harvested in thin strips.

Drying: The harvested strips of cinnamon bark are laid out to dry in the sun or through controlled drying methods. Drying reduces the moisture content and prepares the bark for further processing.

Curling or Rolling: Once the bark is sufficiently dried, it becomes more flexible. The strips are then curled or rolled tightly, creating the characteristic cylindrical shape of cinnamon sticks. This rolling process helps seal the aromatic oils within the bark, preserving the flavor and aroma.

Cutting and Sizing: After the bark is curled or rolled, it is often cut into smaller sections of varying lengths, depending on the intended use of the cinnamon sticks.

Benefits

Flavor

Texture

Color

Cinnamon sticks are brown with a rough outer layer and a smoother inner layer. Their appearance adds rustic charm to dishes and beverages.

Nutritional Value

Cinnamon sticks contain antioxidants and essential oils that contribute to their potential health benefits. However, they are usually used in small quantities, so their nutritional impact is limited.

Functionality

Aromatics

When added to hot liquids or cooking, cinnamon sticks release a fragrant and comforting aroma that enhances the sensory experience.

Balance

Special Dietary Considerations

Cinnamon sticks are generally safe for most people when used in moderation.

Cinnamon sticks are good for paleo diets.

Uses in manufacturing

Snack Foods

Alcoholic Beverages
