The highest grade from the best source of 'true' cinnamon, Sri Lanka. The cinnamon quills are added to both sweet and savoury cooking, particularly in southern India and Sri Lanka but the biggest export market is perhaps suprisingly, Mexico where the sweetness of Sri lankan cinnamon is really appreciated in many dishes and particularly chocolate. The best flavour is achieved if the cinnamon quills are crushed or fried in oil before adding other ingredients to release the essential oils.

uses: Add a couple of cinnamon quills to a spicy stew or curry to add a sweet scent and flavour. Add cinnamon quills to a pan of rice or even a pot of tea to add a beautiful perfume and sweetness.
