6" Cinnamon Sticks Aprox 2 Oz

Cinnamon has been used as a flavoring agent and medicinal for centuries, especially in Asia. The presence of coumarin, however, can be problematic in high doses or in certain individuals with a history of liver disease.
Cinnamomum cassia, otherwise known as Chinese cinnamon, contains less volatile oil and therefore less coumarin than other varieties but has a sweeter flavor.
Decorative - Add to potpourri displays and use in floral crafts.
Culinary - Add to mulled wine or infuse in alcoholic spirits. Use as a stirrer for coffee, tea or hot chocolate.
Household - Place a few of these small sticks at the base of garden plants to help deter pests.
Aromatic - Toss into simmering potpourri.
Industrial - Cinnamon is a food additive and is used in the cosmetic and perfume industries.

For Cooking:
Cinnamon comes from the inner bark of the trunk of the tropical cinnamon tree. As the harvested bark dries, it curls up into quills or sticks. Hand-selected McCormick Cinnamon Sticks add sweet warmth and spicy aroma to hot beverages, curries & slow-cooked stews. The slightly spicy and comforting aroma of cinnamon reminds us of winter holidays and family gatherings. To add warmth to festive beverages, use a stick as a stirrer for coffee & hot cocoa or simmer it in apple cider or mulled red wine. Cinnamon sticks infuse slow-cooked stews, braised short ribs, Indian curries and Vietnamese pho noodle soup with rich fragrance and flavor. Place a stick in the pot to add sweetness when poaching fruit or cooking applesauce, rice pudding or oatmeal.
Spiritual:
Cinnamon oil was used as part of a mixture for a holy anointing oil by the ancient Hebrews. The leaves of the Cinnamon tree were woven into wreaths which were used to decorate ancient Roman temples. The Egyptians used Cinnamon oil as part of the Mummification process. Cinnamon, when burned as an incense, raises high spiritual vibrations, aid in healing, draws money, stimulates psychic powers and produces protective vibrations. Cinnamon is also used in making sachets and infusions for these purposes.
