Organic Cinnamon Sticks Exporter in Germany.

Cinnamon sticks (or quills) are the dried, curled inner bark of tropical evergreen trees from the Cinnamomum family. Used as a spice, they offer a warm, sweet, and woody flavor to beverages and dishes. They are made by peeling, scraping, and drying the bark, which curls into tubes as it dries. 

Key Details About Cinnamon Sticks:

  • Usage: Often used in liquids like teas, curries, stews, and hot cocoa for infusion, as they can be removed before serving.
  • Benefits: Known for being rich in antioxidants and containing cinnamaldehyde, a compound that provides both its distinct flavor and potential health benefits.
  • Storage: They can be stored in a cool, dry place and are often reusable in hot drinks until their aroma fades. 
  • Production: Farmers cut young branches, remove the outer bark, and leave the inner bark to dry, which curls naturally.
  • Types:
    • Cassia (most common): Thick, rough, dark brown bark, usually single-layered, commonly found in U.S. grocery stores.
    • Ceylon ("True Cinnamon"): Thinner, pale brown, and brittle, forming tight, multi-layered scrolls.
