Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks – Cinnamon from Sri Lanka for Your Kitchen

Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks, also known as Canehl or True Cinnamon, add warm and sweet notes to both sweet and savory dishes. Harvested in Sri Lanka, these cinnamon sticks offer a mild, pleasant aroma ideal for cooking and beverages.

What Are Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks?

Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks are made from the inner bark of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree. Compared to Cassia cinnamon, they are thinner, softer, and offer a subtler taste. These properties make them suitable for various culinary applications.

Why Use Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks in Cooking?

Ceylon Cinnamon is appreciated for its mild, balanced aroma. It is commonly used in sweet pastries, spice blends, and beverages. Its lower coumarin content compared to Cassia is another reason for its widespread culinary use.

Identifying Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks

High-quality Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks are thin, light brown, and consist of multiple layers of rolled bark. The Ekelle grading system is used in Sri Lanka to classify their quality. Grades such as E00000 refer to finer layers and cleaner sticks.

Culinary Uses

Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks are suitable for:

  • Desserts like cinnamon rolls, compotes, and cookies
  • Hearty dishes such as stews and curries
  • Beverages like chai, mulled wine, and hot cider
