Question 1

How many sticks does the pack contain?

Accepted Answer

The 1 kg pack holds approximately 90-110 cinnamon sticks of 8 cm length, but the exact number depends on the thickness and dryness of each stick. Some sticks are thinner and lighter, others thicker and denser, so every bag varies slightly. Total weight is always 1 kg; the count is not fixed due to natural variation.

Question 2

Can it be used as a kitchen spice exactly like the finer Ceylon cinnamon?

Accepted Answer

Cassia Vera (Indonesian) cinnamon has a stronger, deeper and sharper flavour than the finer Ceylon variety. It is excellent in mulled wine, tea or baked goods, where its intense aroma comes through. In recipes calling for a softer, milder cinnamon character (e.g. Pavlova, vanilla cream), use it sparingly or switch to the Ceylon variety.

Question 3

How should it be stored to preserve aroma?

Accepted Answer

To preserve aroma, store the cinnamon sticks in a cool, dry place protected from light and air — an airtight glass jar or metal tin keeps the scent longer than an opened bag. After opening, it is best used within 12-18 months; for longer storage, you can divide into small portions and freeze them, defrosting normally for use.
