Description
Cassia cinnamon sticks are the whole-bark form of cinnamon, rolled into tight quills that release their warm, sweet flavor slowly when simmered in liquid. While ground cinnamon delivers instant flavor, cinnamon sticks excel in applications where you want a gradual, controlled infusion.
OrganicMantra gets its cinnamon cassia sticks from the same certified organic farms as our cinnamon cassia powder. The bark is hand-harvested, sun-dried, and rolled into sturdy quills that hold their shape during long simmering.
Cinnamon sticks are the preferred form for beverages and slow-cooked dishes. Drop a stick into your chai, add one to a pot of biryani rice, or simmer in apple cider for a warming autumn drink. Pair with our whole nutmeg and green cardamom powder for a complete mulling spice set.

Have You Heard?
Cinnamon sticks can be gently reused 2-3 times in simmering applications; simply dry them after use and add to your next pot. The thick, hardy bark of cassia cinnamon makes its sticks much sturdier than Ceylon cinnamon sticks, which tend to crumble. This is one reason cassia is preferred for cooking applications where the stick needs to hold its shape during extended simmering.
FAQs:
1. How many times can I reuse a cinnamon stick?
A cassia cinnamon stick can typically be reused 2-3 times in simmering applications. After each use, rinse, pat dry, and store for the next use. The flavor will gradually diminish with each reuse.
2. Should I remove the cinnamon stick before serving?
Yes. Cinnamon sticks are intended for flavor infusion during cooking; they should be removed before serving, similar to bay leaves.
