Cinnamon Sticks, Cassia, 2.75"

Cassia sticks, 2.75 inch cut. Cinnamon sticks (quills) are used whole in mulled beverages, syrups, braises, rice, and as retail packs and garnishes. Cassia sticks are thick, hard, and bold; Ceylon "soft" cinnamon is layered, delicate, and sweeter, preferred for fine baking and Mexican-style chocolate and coffee. Length grades suit different packaging and uses. Cinnamon sticks are whole dried bark rolls from the Cinnamomum tree, prized for their warm, sweet, and slightly spicy aromatic flavor. They are widely used in hot beverages, mulled wines, slow-cooked stews, rice dishes, and desserts, imparting a more subtle and complex flavor than ground cinnamon. Restaurants, bakeries, beverage producers, and food manufacturers purchase cinnamon sticks in bulk for both culinary applications and decorative garnishing.
