Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between round and flat cinnamon sticks? Round cinnamon sticks are true Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) with soft, thin, papery bark that rolls into tight cylinders. Flat cinnamon sticks are typically cassia cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia) with thicker, harder, less fragrant bark. True Ceylon cinnamon is milder and more delicate.

Is Ceylon cinnamon better than cassia cinnamon for Indian cooking? Both are used in Indian cooking as dalchini. Ceylon cinnamon has a more delicate, nuanced sweetness while cassia is stronger and more pungent. Personal preference and regional tradition determine which is preferred.

How should I use cinnamon sticks that have been in biryani? Remove cinnamon sticks from finished preparations before serving — they are not meant to be eaten as they remain tough and woody even after cooking.
