Introduction
Cinnamon sticks, known as “Dalchini” in Hindi, are a beloved spice renowned for their warm, sweet flavor and aromatic qualities. Derived from the inner bark of trees belonging to the Cinnamomum genus, cinnamon has been a key ingredient in various cuisines around the world. At Vishwarupa Global Trades Vision Private Limited, we offer premium cinnamon sticks, carefully sourced and processed to ensure the highest quality and flavor.
Origin and Cultivation
Our cinnamon sticks are sourced from the tropical regions of Sri Lanka and southern India, where the Cinnamomum verum and Cinnamomum cassia trees thrive. The process begins with harvesting the inner bark of the tree, which is then dried and rolled into sticks. This method preserves the essential oils and aromatic compounds that give cinnamon its distinctive flavor. After drying, the sticks are cleaned and sorted to meet our rigorous quality standards.
Flavor Profile
Cinnamon sticks have a warm, sweet, and slightly spicy flavor with subtle hints of citrus and clove. The flavor is rich and aromatic, making it a versatile ingredient that adds depth and complexity to both sweet and savory dishes. The sticks release their flavor slowly, making them ideal for infusing liquids and slow-cooking recipes.
