I'm a convert

I've been making my own vanilla extract for over a decade and used to buy my beans based on reviews at a Infamous Global seller. Was never sure what I would get. Then I found this company! The beans were beautiful! Fragrant, moist but not too moist, easy to cut open to expose the seeds and each Bean was six to seven inches long. I'm a happy extract maker! 💝💃🥳

Ceylon Cinnamon, Shop True Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks Online

Sri Lankan cinnamon, or Ceylon cinnamon, is often referred to by the monikers true cinnamon and sweet cinnamon because of the historical presence and flavor profile that differs from the more common, Cassia cinnamon. While of the same genus, Cinnamomum, cassia bark. has a much harsher taste than its (in our opinion, far superior) Ceylon cousin. For the sake of trade and purchase today, all species are considered cinnamon, but Ceylon Cinnamon, in its original Latin origins, true cinnamon is the scientific literal translation of cinnamon bark derived from the Cinnamomum Verum tree from which Ceylon cinnamon is derived. Sri Lankan Ceylon cinnamon sticks, while less common and more expensive, are favored by Pastry Chefs in Europe for their soft, delicate, and clean cinnamon flavor. A large difference between Ceylon cinnamon quills and Cassia cinnamon sticks is that the Ceylon variety is filled like a fine cigar. The flesh is soft and brittle and easily broken by hand, whereas Cassia cinnamon or Cassia bark is hardier and woodier and do not break easily. This particular organic inspired cinnamon quills come  from the fertile soils of Sri Lankan is a C5-special grade grown using natural and organic practices.. The finest, and second most sought-after grade besides Alba cinnamon.  Looking for Ceylon cinnamon powder instead? You can find it here..

The growing and harvesting process of Ceylon cinnamon is very unique. The various stages of the process are: harvesting, peeling, rolling and drying, cutting and grading, and packaging. First a small Sri Lankan cinnamon tree, an evergreen tree in the laurel family, is grown and nurtured for about 2 years. The Sri Lankan cinnamon tree is then chopped down to a stump. After a short time, dozens of small shoots spring up from the stump. The shoots are allowed to mature and thicken to about two inches in diameter before being cut down. After being cut down, the green outer bark is then shaved and peeled off. The inner bark is then sliced, and struck evenly with specialized tools. The cinnamon bark is peeled in layers from the heart of the wood. This inner bark is removed in large sheets generally several feet in length or more, cut into strips, and air-dried. These strips are then curled into quills of cinnamon that are further dried in ovens or by baking outside under the sun. After achieving a sufficient "tan", the quills are cut, graded and sent on their way around the world, where they are prized by bakers, culinary enthusiasts, and holistic healers.

 

Want to learn more about why Ceylon cinnamon does not taste, smell or look like other more commonly found cinnamons like Cassia cinnamon? Take a moment to read this article: Ceylon cinnamon, it's flavor and why it differs from common cinnamon. 

Sri Lankan cinnamon, aka: Ceylon cinnamon, is smooth and aromatic with hints of citrus, sugar, and butter. It's known for being sweeter and more subtle than other varieties of cinnamon. That complex aroma is a perfect all-purpose cinnamon for using in curries, stews, and a wide assortment of pastries. Try dusting over oatmeal or mixing with sugar on buttered toast. We highly recommend using this cinnamon in the Mexican rice milk drink, horchata, or in the English favorite, eggnog. Or, try it our recipe for a mango vegan ice cream! Many first time users of Ceylon cinnamon will find that the cinnamon sticks in whole form lack an intense aroma that they associate with cinnamon. Do not worry, to experience the aroma  of Ceylon cinnamon sticks, break and crush the cinnamon quills between your fingers. The aroma of Ceylon cinnamon sticks will not be overpowering, but it will have a very pleasant cinnamon smell, with note of floral and citrus.

Roughly 4-5 sticks +- depending on the grade of cinnamon and length. Each stick has natural variations in size, shape, and uniformity, so you should not take this number literally, as one ounce is a weighted measure and has nothing to do with a count. It is solely sold by weight.
