Spicy World Cinnamon Sticks, 14 Oz Bag, Cassia Saigon Cinnamon from Vietnam

Cinnamon Sticks: Elevating the Culinary Experience

Cinnamon, a captivating spice, is harvested from the inner bark of tropical evergreen trees. The bark is skilfully peeled off in strips, naturally curling up into cinnamon quills as they dry. This variety, known as Cassia Cinnamon, is the most common type found in grocery stores. Ground cinnamon, on the other hand, is the powdered form of this aromatic bark, with one cinnamon stick being approximately equivalent to one teaspoon of the ground spice.

The delightful aroma and flavor of cinnamon come from its essential oil and other constituents, such as eugenol. This versatile spice is widely used in various cuisines, enhancing both sweet and savory dishes, from breakfast cereals and snack foods to traditional recipes and teas.

Spicy World's Cinnamon Sticks are meticulously hand-picked, sourced from the lush forests of Vietnam, to ensure the highest quality and premium flavor. With an impressive oil content of 4.5-5.5%, these Saigon Cinnamon sticks offer an unparalleled depth of richness and an captivating aroma that sets them apart.

Cinnamon's warm and aromatic character pairs beautifully with a wide range of culinary applications. In baking, it adds depth and richness to cakes, cookies, bread, and pastries, elevating the overall flavor profile.

To experience the delightful potential of cinnamon sticks, one can indulge in the classic Cinnamon Buns. The process involves preparing a dough by combining flour, sugar, salt, yeast, warm milk, melted butter, and a beaten egg. After kneading and rising, the dough is rolled out, spread with melted butter, and sprinkled with a cinnamon-sugar mixture. The dough is then tightly rolled, cut into rolls, and baked to perfection. Finally, the warm buns are topped with a creamy cream cheese frosting, creating an irresistible treat.

For those seeking a delectable cinnamon-infused cake, the Cinnamon Cake is a delightful option. This recipe calls for mixing dry ingredients, including flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Separately, butter and sugar are creamed, and eggs and vanilla are added. The dry mixture and milk are then alternately incorporated into the batter, which is poured into a greased pan. A cinnamon-sugar mixture is sprinkled on top and swirled into the batter before baking. The result is a moist, flavorful cake that captures the essence of cinnamon.

Beyond culinary applications, cinnamon sticks can also be incorporated into self-care routines. The DIY Cinnamon Body Scrub combines granulated sugar, coconut oil (or any carrier oil), and ground cinnamon, creating a rejuvenating exfoliating scrub. For a fragrant touch, essential oils can be added to the mix. This delightful scrub offers a soothing and revitalizing experience, leaving the skin feeling smooth and refreshed.
