1400S SPICES Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks 1 lb (5-inch) — True Sri Lankan Canela, Mild Floral Citrus Aroma

1400S SPICES 1lb Ceylon cinnamon sticks are whole, light-brown quills from Sri Lanka prized for their delicate, floral-citrus aroma and versatile culinary uses.

Harvested from the inner bark of Cinnamomum verum trees in Sri Lanka, these 5-inch cinnamon sticks (canela entera) offer a milder, buttery profile than common cassia cinnamon. Carefully rolled and sun-dried, each quill preserves layered bark structure and aromatic oils that make it a favorite for chefs, bakers, and home cooks looking for authentic flavor in both sweet and savory dishes.

How will these Ceylon sticks change my cooking?

Because Ceylon cinnamon is lighter and more nuanced than stronger cassia, it blends smoothly into recipes without overpowering other ingredients. It lifts citrusy, floral notes and pairs well with dairy, fruit, chocolate, and delicate sauces.

• Enhances custards, rice puddings, and baked goods with subtle sweetness
• Infuses broths, stews, and poaching liquids without bitterness
• Works well in spiced drinks like café de olla, chai, and mulled cider

How should I store and use these cinnamon quills to get the best aroma?

Keep sticks in a cool, dry, airtight container away from direct light to preserve essential oils and aroma. Break or grate a quill when recipes call for a more immediate burst of flavor; simmer whole sticks for gentle infusion.

• Store in glass jars or sealed bags to retain freshness
• Use whole for long infusions or grind fresh for concentrated spice
• Replace ground cinnamon in recipes for cleaner, fresher flavor

Are these cinnamon sticks natural and how are they harvested?

Yes — these are true Ceylon cinnamon sticks harvested from the inner bark after trees mature. The bark is peeled, shaped into quills, and sun-dried, yielding thin, layered sticks with a tan to light-brown color.

• Harvested from Cinnamomum verum trees grown in Sri Lanka
• Inner bark rolled into quills and naturally dried
• Subtle, multi-layered texture typical of true cinnamon

• Customer satisfaction is our priority. If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, please contact us and we will do our best to make it right.

• Naturally harvested: The true cinnamon is harvested after about two years of growth. The inner bark is removed and later cut into strips, rolled into quills, and ultimately dried into what you will receive directly on your table.
• Natural color: Our 5 inches Ceylon cinnamon are filled and composed of layers of cinnamon bark. With a light brown or tan color, it is lighter in flavor and rarer by variety.
• In Mexico, cinnamon is known as "canela", and the cinnamon used in Mexican cuisine from café de olla to traditional desserts is almost always Ceylon cinnamon sticks. Despite its widespread use, Mexico doesn’t grow cinnamon commercially. Instead, it imports most of it primarily from Sri Lanka, making it one of the top importers of Ceylon cinnamon globally.
