A Cinnamon Stick is a spice obtained from the inner bark of several tree species belonging to the genus Cinnamomum. They are often added to soups, stews, curries, rice dishes, and desserts like rice pudding, custards, and apple pies. In beverages, cinnamon sticks are used to flavor hot drinks like mulledwinecider, tea, and coffee. They are typically made by cutting the inner bark of cinnamon trees into long, slender strips and then allowing them to dry. The flavor and aroma of cinnamon sticks come from essential oils present in the bark, particularly cinnamaldehyde. Cinnamon Stick is believed to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties.
