Cinnamon Sticks 50g

Locally grown in Bali, cinnamon sticks are the aromatic bark of the Cinnamomum tree, primarily from Sri Lanka (Ceylon cinnamon) or Cassia varieties from China. Their distinct flavor and fragrance make them a beloved spice in various culinary traditions worldwide. The warm, sweet notes of cinnamon are commonly used in both sweet and savory dishes, ranging from baked goods like cinnamon rolls and apple pie to curries and stews.

In addition to their culinary uses, cinnamon sticks are known for their numerous health benefits. They are rich in antioxidants, which help combat oxidative stress and inflammation in the body. Studies suggest that cinnamon may help regulate blood sugar levels, making it beneficial for people with type 2 diabetes . It may also possess antimicrobial properties, which can help inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi .

Using them in cooking and beverages is easy; they can be steeped in hot liquids like tea, coffee or milk to impart their flavor gradually. Whole sticks are often preferred for their longer shelf life compared to ground cinnamon, as the essential oils that provide flavor and aroma are better preserved.

To maximize their flavor, cinnamon sticks can be toasted lightly before use. They can also be reused multiple times before losing their potency, making them a cost-effective option in the kitchen.
