CEYLON CINNAMON STICKS 5cm

Ceylon cinnamon – known as “true cinnamon” – is produced from the inner bark of the evergreen tree Cinnamomum verum, primarily found in Sri Lanka (Ceylon). The 5-centimeter Ceylon cinnamon sticks offer a rich aroma and flavor to dishes. This cinnamon wood is particularly fragile and requires gentle handling. Compared to cinnamon powder, cinnamon sticks have a longer shelf life.
