Frontier Co-op Organic 3" Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks, 1lb - Bulk Cinnamon Sticks for Crafts, Drinks, Holiday Recipes, Cinnamon Powder and More

Black coffee gets boring quick. I'll throw about eight sticks in my coffee pot as I brew a pot. Or even better throw a stick in your travel mug- it gets intense but this is real cinnamon not the cassia sold in most grocery stores. It has health benefits as well as a smooth taste.

My mum and I are both cookbook editors and professional recipe developers/testers, and after years of purchasing these organic Ceylon cinnamon sticks, we've only had one not-great bag (just shreds, almost no intact sticks). Every other bag has been full of whole, flavorful and fragrant sticks. And speaking of the sticks, Ceylon cinnamon sticks are softer, more porous and less dense (often looking like peeling bark) than the more common, assertively flavored Saigon/Vietnamese cinnamon sticks. So, if you're expecting the sharp hit you get from Saigon/Vietnamese cinnamon, you might find Ceylon ("true") cinnamon a bit subtle. For baking, Saigon/Vietnamese cinnamon, with its more intense flavor, is definitely the superior choice, and what most of us expect from cinnamon-flavored baked goods. But for more frequent/daily use, such as in tea, coffee, hot chocolate, or sprinkled on oatmeal, Ceylon cinnamon is safer, as its coumarin content is lower. And for those who make a tea from cinnamon -- or, like we do in our household, brew it with our coffee -- its sweeter, more mild flavor and aroma is preferable. I wonder if those reviewers who complained about the lack of fragrance/flavor were expecting Saigon/Vietnamese cinnamon. I can't vouch for every bag, but if you're already familiar with Ceylon cinnamon and know that's what you want, I can say that we've been consistently happy with Frontier Co-Op's organic Ceylon sticks for many years. Oh, and if you use cinnamon daily to regulate blood sugar, you definitely want to stay away from Saigon/Vietnamese cinnamon, and use Ceylon "true" cinnamon.

I'm pleased with this purchase. The Ceylon cinnamon has great flavor and nice size sticks. It would have been nice if bag was resealable. I would puchase again.

I love that this is actually real ceylon cinnamon! The REAL cinnamon! I used to not think much about the different kinds but then read about the health benefits of ceylon (and some detrimental things about the other kinds) and decided to find a source and try it. I will NEVER go back to any other cinnamon knock-off! Whole stick ceylon cinnamon is the way to go. It smells amazing, makes every dish I put it in taste INCREDIBLE, and I love how fresh it is - I store the sticks in a jar in the fridge and take out a stick to grind in a mortar and pestle when I'm ready to cook with it. I cannot talk more highly of this product!

good stuff fair price

Decent product, for the price you pay it would be nice if it was in a resealable package.

I looked in all my local stores to find ceylon cinnamon and couldn't find it. So I came to Amazon and found frontier co-op which I have used before and I was grateful that they had the cinnamon. This came recommended from my doctor to use in the place of blood pressure issues and overall health and I'm glad I did. This does not provide the bite that Cassia cinnamon has and is a lot more smooth in my tea. I truly recommend anything made by frontier co-op and I definitely recommend this.

I gave it 5 stars because the product looks and smells good and appears similar to other Ceylon sticks I've previously purchased. I mostly make tea from these sticks as I run my own tests on the effect on blood sugar and A1C. We'll see what happens with that.
