Whole Cinnamon

Whole cinnamon, derived from the inner bark of cinnamon trees, is a sweet and warming spice used in both sweet and savory dishes. It adds depth to desserts, beverages, and savory recipes like stews and biryanis. Two primary types are Ceylon cinnamon, with a delicate flavor, and cassia cinnamon, which is stronger and spicier. Cinnamon is rich in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, and antimicrobial properties. It’s known to help regulate blood sugar and improve heart health. Used whole or ground, cinnamon sticks can infuse teas, mulled wines, and curries, offering a comforting aroma and rich flavor to a variety of dishes.
