Femme Organics Cinnamon Sticks Whole

Cinnamon dates back thousands of years as it was not only used as a spice, but in traditional Chinese medicine as well. It is harvested from the mature trunk of the cinnamon tree by stripping off the b@rk. After being dried at low temperatures, it is carefully milled into fine powder to retain the high nutritional value and allows for maximum digestion and absorption when consumed

Cinnamon is a versatile spice used in both sweet and savory dishes, including baked goods, beverages, and curries. It enhances desserts like cakes and cookies, flavors drinks like coffee and hot chocolate, and adds warmth to savory stews, meat dishes, and curries, especially in Middle Eastern and Indian cuisines. It can be sprinkled on top of dishes like oatmeal or yogurt for a simple touch or added to rubs for meats and spice blends like garam masala. 

Cinnamon sticks are versatile, aromatic whole spices used to infuse warm, woody flavors into liquids, slow-cooked dishes, and hot beverages. They are perfect for simmering in curries, rice dishes, oatmeal, stewed fruits, cider, and coffee, providing a subtler flavor than ground cinnamon, and should typically be removed before serving. 

Here are the primary culinary uses for cinnamon sticks:

Beverages

• Stirrer: Use as a natural stirrer for coffee, tea, hot cocoa, or apple cider.
• Mulled Drinks: Simmer in red wine for mulled wine, or in cider for hot toddies.
• Tea: Steep directly in hot water for a simple cinnamon tisane. 

Savory Dishes

• Rice and Grains: Add to basmati rice, pilafs, or porridge to add warmth.
• Stews and Curries: Toss into simmering Indian curries, such as chicken or lamb, or use in pho broth.
• Slow Cooking: Place in a slow cooker with meats like short ribs or pot roast.
• Flavor Infusion: Infuse olive oil or create a cinnamon-flavored syrup for recipes. 

Sweet Dishes and Baking

• Infused Syrups/Sauces: Simmer in fruit compotes, cranberry sauce, or poaching liquid for pears.
• Infused Sugar: Place a stick in a jar of sugar for a few weeks to create cinnamon-flavored sugar.
• Baking: Grind fresh in a coffee grinder for a more potent flavor, or use small bits in jams. 

Pro-Tip: For a stronger flavour in recipes, break the sticks into smaller pieces to release more essential oils.
