Spicy World Cinnamon Sticks, 28 oz Bulk Bag, 150–175 Sticks, 3+ Inches

This 28 oz bulk bag contains 150 to 175 cassia Saigon cinnamon sticks, each 3+ inches long. The generous quantity makes it practical to keep cinnamon ready for everyday cooking and larger batches.

The sticks are described as coming from Vietnam and have a sweet, warm flavor and aroma. Their whole-stick format works well for recipes where you want cinnamon to infuse a liquid or be removed before serving.

A resealable bag helps keep the remaining sticks together between uses. Ingredients: cinnamon.

Pros

Use the sticks to flavor tea, beverages, wine, desserts, candies, curry, and baked goods. Add one to a pot of tea or wine as it warms, or let it infuse a dessert mixture before removing it. The sticks can also be used whole in savory dishes, bringing cinnamon into recipes without adding ground spice directly to the mixture.

The bulk quantity suits cooks who use cinnamon regularly or prepare larger batches. The product description estimates that one stick is approximately equivalent to one teaspoon of ground cinnamon, a useful reference when adapting a recipe. Compared with ground cinnamon, sticks are a practical choice when you want to steep the spice or lift it out before serving, ground cinnamon is the more direct format for mixing into a batter or other mixture.

What to know

These are cassia cinnamon sticks, identified as Saigon cinnamon from Vietnam. Their sweet, warm character makes them suitable for both sweet and savory recipes, from tea and wine to curry. The sticks are also described as having a strong aroma, while buyer feedback on scent and flavor is mixed: some buyers enjoy the fragrance and taste, while others report that they find them faint. Feedback on how well the sticks hold together is also mixed, so handle them gently when taking them from the bag.

Buyers appreciate the quantity in the bulk bag. If you are choosing between whole sticks and ground cinnamon, consider how you plan to use the spice: sticks are suited to steeping, simmering, and recipes where the cinnamon can be removed, while ground cinnamon is designed to blend into food. This bag offers the whole-stick format for those uses, with a resealable closure for storing the remaining contents between cooking sessions.

Getting the most from it

For tea or wine, add a stick while the liquid warms and allow it to infuse, remove it before serving if you prefer not to leave it in the cup or pot. In baking, candies, and desserts, use the sticks to flavor a liquid or mixture where the cinnamon can later be taken out. For curry and other savory cooking, add a stick as part of the recipe’s seasoning and remove it when appropriate for the dish.

Keep the sticks in the resealable bag between uses. The stated one-stick-to-one-teaspoon comparison can also help when a recipe calls for ground cinnamon, especially when the cinnamon is being infused rather than mixed in.

When it makes sense

Choose this bulk bag if you want whole cinnamon sticks for regularly flavoring beverages, tea, wine, desserts, or savory dishes. Its 150 to 175 sticks provide a ready supply for repeated use, while the 3+ inch length suits recipes that call for a stick to infuse a pot or serving. For cooks who prefer to steep cinnamon and remove it before serving, this format offers a straightforward way to add its warm flavor to a range of recipes.
