What Are Indian Cinnamon Sticks?

Indian cinnamon, also known as Cinnamomum verum, is a variety of true cinnamon native to the Indian subcontinent. Unlike the Cassia cinnamon (which is commonly found in many supermarkets), Indian cinnamon has a more delicate, sweet flavor and is considered superior due to its authentic taste and finer texture. The sticks are made by rolling the bark of the cinnamon tree into quills, which are then dried to preserve their natural oils and aroma.

Cinnamon Sticks Indian 500g (Balars) provide an aromatic, warming spice that enhances the flavor of both savory and sweet dishes. Their use in traditional Indian cooking, as well as in international recipes, makes them a versatile pantry staple for flavoring and garnishing.
