Cinnamon sticks add a subtle and deep aromatic dimension to a variety of sweet and savory dishes.<\/p>\n
In Western cuisine, cinnamon sticks are frequently used to flavor desserts such as compotes, apple pies, puddings, and hot chocolates. They are also presented as decorative elements on the plate. They can also be used for infusing in hot beverages like tea, coffee, or mulled wine, adding a touch of sweet and spicy aroma.<\/p>\n
To grind cinnamon sticks, you can use a spice or coffee grinder. A blender or food processor can also be used to grind them if you don’t have a grinder. <\/p>\n
Cinnamon is a spice obtained from the inner bark of the cinnamon tree, an evergreen tree belonging to the Lauraceae family. Its botanical name is Cinnamomum verum, also known as Cinnamomum zeylanicum. Native to Sri Lanka, cinnamon is also cultivated in other tropical regions of Southeast Asia, India, and Madagascar.<\/p>\n
The cinnamon tree can grow up to 15 meters in height. Its oval, leathery, dark green leaves are arranged alternately on the branches. The cinnamon tree’s flowers are small and greenish, grouped in clusters.<\/p>\n
However, it is the inner bark and outer bark of the cinnamon tree that are harvested to produce cinnamon. The inner bark is harvested by hand, dried, and then transformed into cinnamon sticks or ground into powder, while the less sweet outer bark is often used to produce cinnamon essential oil. <\/p>\n
The only royal and gourmet cinnamon is Ceylon cinnamon and is a spice obtained from the inner bark of several species of trees of the genus Cinnamomum. The use of this spice is millenarian, both medicinally and in cooking.
\nReal cinnamon is sometimes confused with cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia), another more bitter and intense variety known as cinnamon from China, but of inferior quality.
\nCassia is a perennial tree native to southern China and because it is abundant, it is the most common type of cinnamon used. It tends to be a dark reddish-brown colour with thicker sticks and a rougher texture than Ceylon cinnamon. Ceylon is dark brown and contains many tight sticks with soft layers.<\/p>\n
