About Cinnamon stick

A cinnamon stick is a piece of dried inner bark curled into a tube or quill. It is usually reddish to warm brown, with a dry, woody texture and a sweet, warm aroma; its flavour is fragrant and spicy, though the strength and character vary by cinnamon source.

Sticks are commonly simmered in liquids or added during cooking to infuse flavour, then removed before serving. They may be sold whole or broken into pieces and vary in length, thickness and degree of curl; ground cinnamon is a separate form.
