Cinnamon Sticks

Our cinnamon sticks are whole quills of cassia bark from Vietnam. Cassia has a bolder, spicier flavour than Ceylon cinnamon, which makes it the stick most cooks reach for in curries, biryanis and slow-cooked dishes.

Drop one or two sticks into the pan at the start of cooking and let them infuse, then lift them out before serving. They’re also the classic choice for mulled wine, spiced cider, chai and rice pudding.

Choose a 200g bag for the kitchen cupboard, or a 5kg bag if you’re cooking for a restaurant, takeaway or catering business. Every order comes with free delivery to the UK mainland, with no minimum spend.

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Whole sticks hold their aroma much longer than ground cinnamon, with a shelf life of 2 years.

Are these Ceylon or cassia cinnamon sticks?
They’re cassia, from Vietnam. Cassia is stronger and spicier, while Ceylon is milder and sweeter. 

How much ground cinnamon equals one cinnamon stick?
As a rough guide, about half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon replaces one stick, but it depends on the size of the stick. Our cinnamon powder vs cinnamon sticks guide goes into more detail.

Can I reuse a cinnamon stick?
Yes. Rinse it, let it dry fully, and use it again. The flavour will be a little weaker the second time.

Do you sell cinnamon sticks in bulk?
Yes, we sell a 5kg bag. For larger quantities, fill in our wholesale form.
