Why we picked it
-
Harvested from certified organic trees and dried to keep its sweet-spice aroma.
-
Whole bark quills rather than powder, which is where filler and colour get in.
-
Whole bark can be inspected by eye, which is the practical advantage over buying ground.
What to look for in Cinnamon Bark?
What to look for in Cinnamon Bark?
- 01Buy whole where you can. Whole spice you can inspect; powder is easy to pad out with starch, husk or chalk.
- 02Rub a pinch between wet palms. Colour that lifts onto skin means added dye. Metanil yellow, lead chromate and Sudan dyes are all documented in Indian spice.
- 03A single-ingredient list is the whole point. Anti-caking agents and 'permitted colour' both signal processing you do not need.
- 04Steam sterilisation is the clean way to reduce microbes. Irradiation and fumigation are not always declared.
What's inside
Dried bark quills, nothing added.
Whole bark is far harder to adulterate than powder, which is where filler and colour get in.
Not relevant to whole bark, and correctly absent.

Avoid if

Questions people ask
Is this Ceylon or Cassia cinnamon?
We don't know yet: no species is on file. Cassia carries much more coumarin than Ceylon, which matters if you use cinnamon daily rather than occasionally.
How do I use whole cinnamon bark?
Add a piece early to anything that simmers, like chai, decoctions, pulao or stews, then remove it before serving. Toast lightly before adding to pulao or biryani.
Can I make cinnamon powder from it?
Yes. Break or grind small amounts fresh when a recipe calls for powder. Whole bark holds its aroma far longer than ground.
Is it lab tested?
No product-level lab report is on file. It is a single ingredient, certified organic, and whole bark can be inspected by eye.
