Due to the fine odor and taste, cinnamon is a key ingredient in many industries. It is added to many foods from pastry, processed food to chewing gum and chocolate. At the same time, the chic fragrance makes it a cutting-edge component in perfumes, shampoos, and plenty of cosmetic products. Apart from the commercial aspect, trying out cinnamon recipes is a whole experience of happiness. Indeed, cinnamon foods are irresistible.
Cinnamon powder can be added while cooking or sprinkled over the dishes just before serving. Many culinary secrets include the addition of cinnamon sticks while cooking for a deep flavor. It’s of great recommendation to use only the high quality and safe Ceylon cinnamon for food recipes and avoid other types like Cassia. Unlike sticks, powders of the two types look almost the same, making it difficult to differentiate. Therefore, it’s better to buy true/Ceylon cinnamon as sticks that are thin and with obvious layering.
Both cinnamon sticks and powder should be preserved in tightly closed glass containers in a cool and dry place. Preserving cinnamon keeps it fresh and guarantees long shelf life. Smell the cinnamon before using it to be sure it is still fresh.
