Frequently Asked Questions

Which is stronger — flat or round cinnamon sticks? Flat cassia cinnamon sticks are generally stronger, more assertive, and more pungent than the delicate round Ceylon cinnamon. Most Indian cooking recipes calling for dalchini use cassia varieties.

Can I grind these cinnamon sticks into powder? Yes — dry roast briefly and grind in a spice grinder for fresh cinnamon powder with superior aroma compared to pre-ground cinnamon.

How many cinnamon sticks per biryani? One to two sticks per family-size biryani preparation is typically sufficient. Cassia cinnamon is assertive — too many sticks create an overwhelming character.
