Premium Whole Ceylon Cinnamon — 4 oz

Premium whole true Ceylon cinnamon quills from Sri Lanka, selected from Alba and C5 grades for a sweeter, more delicate cinnamon profile than common cassia sticks.

What It Is

These are whole quills of Cinnamomum verum, the true Ceylon cinnamon traditionally grown in Sri Lanka. Unlike the hard single curls of cassia, Ceylon cinnamon is built from many thin layers of inner bark rolled together.

Taste & Aroma

Soft, warm and naturally sweet, with a refined fragrance and a lighter, more complex finish than cassia.

How to Use

• Steep whole in tea, cider, mulled drinks and warm milk.
• Add to rice, curries, braises and simmered dishes, then remove before serving.
• Break or grind fresh when a recipe calls for cinnamon powder.
• Use in syrups, poaching liquids and desserts.

Why Ceylon Cinnamon

Ceylon cinnamon is Cinnamomum verum, a different botanical species from common cassia. Its quills are thinner and more layered, its flavor is gentler and sweeter, and it is naturally much lower in coumarin than cassia.
