Sweet Cinnamon Stick

Description

Its uniquely sweet and delicious flavor and warming, uplifting aroma have been utilized in countless confectioneries, baked goods, perfumes, cosmetics, beverages, and cordials. Sweet cinnamon, often referred to as 'true cinnamon', has a more subtle, delicate, and sweet flavor than the closely related cassia cinnamon.

USES AND PREPARATIONS: Dried inner bark as a spice, tea, potpourri, or tincture. Note: Cassia bark is harder, thicker and rougher than true cinnamon. It is also more tan whereas true cinnamon is reddish. Cassia sticks curl inward from both sides toward the center as they dry. True cinnamon has many thin layers of bark.
