Product Overview: Premium Dried Cinnamon Bark Sticks (Whole Cassia)

Cassia cinnamon bark sticks are dried rolls of cinnamon bark primarily sourced from the Cinnamomum cassia tree. Known for their strong, sweet-spicy aroma and flavor, these sticks are widely used across global kitchens for cooking and baking purposes. Our premium dried cinnamon bark sticks are whole, uniform in size, and carefully dried to retain their flavor and essential oils.

Common Varieties and Grades

Cassia cinnamon comes in various grades depending on bark thickness, color, texture, and uniformity. Typical grades include:

• Grade A: Thick, hard bark with a dark reddish-brown color, usually tightly rolled and less porous.
• Grade B: Slightly thinner bark with medium texture and less dense rolls.
• Grade C: Thin and brittle bark, often used for lower-grade products or ground cinnamon blends.

Our factory selects Premium Grade A whole sticks known for their superior quality and intense aroma.

Technical and Nutritional Properties

Cinnamon bark sticks are rich in essential oils, primarily cinnamaldehyde, which gives them their characteristic pungent aroma and therapeutic properties. They contain polyphenols, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals contributing to health benefits such as anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects. Our dried whole cassia sticks maintain a high oil content to ensure optimal flavor and shelf life.

Harvesting and Production Process

Cinnamon bark is harvested from carefully cultivated cassia trees, typically after the trees reach 2-3 years of maturity. The outer bark is first removed, and then the inner bark is peeled off in long strips. This bark is dried naturally under shade or controlled environments to preserve its color and oils. The drying process ensures the bark curls naturally into sticks and achieves the desired low moisture content to prevent mold or spoilage.

Common Uses and Applications

Premium dried whole cassia cinnamon sticks are versatile and widely used in:

• Baking: Iconic in cinnamon rolls, cookies, cakes, and bread for added aroma and taste.
• Cooking: Added whole to stews, curries, teas, and mulled beverages for warm, spicy notes.
• Infusions: Used for flavoring hot beverages like chai, cider, and herbal teas.
• Traditional medicine and aromatherapy due to its natural healing properties.

The sticks are free from contaminants, molds, and foreign materials. They are packed in hygienic, food-grade packaging designed to protect the cinnamon during transit and storage, suitable for both wholesale and retail export requirements.
